Another Geography Flub in the Media!

Another mistake on a map distributed by the media.  This time it's in relation to baseball.  The map released by Fox sports illustrates where the player Colby Lewis has played from Detroit to Washington D.C. Kansas City, Oakland, Arlington, and even Japan.  Along with the labeled cities from which the team were from, the states that they were in also were highlighted.  This is where the problem comes in. Kansas City is in Missouri, however this map shades Kansas as its associated state.  Once again a simple mistake can be confusing millions and subjecting them to false perceptions of geography!

Notice the Kansas City mistake? See the article here: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Ha-ha-Fox-8217-s-Colby-Lewis-graphic-moves-K-C?urn=mlb-wp25008

Another Geography Flub...

Came across this tv still on Twitter, posted by @TheTruthLibya of an map error on CNN!  This particular error labels Tripoli in what seems to be Lebanon when in fact Tripoli is on a whole other continent.  Tripoli is in the country of  Libya, along the Northern shore of the African Continent.  I still cannot believe that in this day an age major news outlets still make mistakse like these!
