Another instance of of questionable reporting. MSNBC go home you are drunk!
According to Syracuse.com a "map fail" by MSNBC went viral on social media Tuesday night, as hundreds shared a screenshot of a television graphic accompanying a report by host Martin Bashir on Obama's upcoming travel plans. Four cities were listed -- Syracuse, Buffalo, Binghamton in New York, and Scranton in Pennsylvania -- but all four appeared to be in the wrong place.
In fact, Syracuse, Buffalo and Binghamton all appeared to be in the Adirondacks region, closer to Albany than their actual locations in upstate New York. Even Scranton was off, placed further west than the city's location in northeast Pennsylvania.
Buffalo's WGRZ-TV reporter Jim Herr suggests a collection should be taken up to buy MSNBC a map, but my favorite is the one below from one Matt Hickman.
