CNN: The news channel for people who have never looked at a map

[Mr. Morden]

I know that the forum will appreciate this crime against cartography from The New Republic:



Are they even trying? Who would look at that map and think that it conveys any useful information?

Looks like the intern who made the map plotted the data including the dollar sign in front: at that point the map software interprets the number as a string instead of a number. Then the program keeps changing colour to resolve the problem of there being more labels than available colours in the swatch.

I redefined the data and improved the map if anyone cares.

Update: I adjusted my zoom level in an attempt to take a better screenshot and the colors changed! What the hell is going on here?

The New Republic proudly announces the hiring of Mr. Pbrower as its map design specialist. He will enjoy a full salary and benefits, including dental and on-demand access to cat drugs.

Well now it seems they've done it again.  Just to illustrate how much the war in Afghanistan has been forgotten, CNN has now shown that they can't even remember where the damn place is any more:





This should be news for the people of Syria.

More like eerie prophecy now.

Let's switch over to FOX News for a minute:

These aren't as bad, though. They Utah does border Nevada, and Vermont does border New Hampshire. They probably just colored in the wrong state by mistake.

As opposed to all these other examples of coloring in the wrong states deliberately, you mean?
