Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans watching CBS This Morning <\/a>on Saturday scratched their heads when the news outlet broadcast a map of the Caribbean that made the U.S. territory appear to have replaced the sovereign nation of Jamaica.\u00a0If that’s the case, then Jamaicans should be able to enter the U.S without a visa!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the first geography fail by a major U.S. network, and we doubt that it will be the last. Less that cogent cartography has plagued print outlets as well, \u00a0from the Economist<\/a>(who grossly overstated North Korea\u2019s missile threats) to the New York Times <\/a>(who prototypoed the nation of Kyrzbekistan). CBS\u2019 Puerto Rico drew lols on Twitter from Puerto Ricans who posted screenshots of the show as it aired live.<\/p>\n
