Well don't be embarrassed if you don't, because FOX News doesn't know either. :shock: According to FOX News Egypt is not in North East Africa but in Iraq :shock: . Proof you say? Well here it is:
Image
See right there between Iran and Syria :lol: . For those who don't know where Egypt is on this map it is the country that borders Israel's south west border, across the Red Sea from Saudi Arabia. In Africa Egypt borders Libya to the west and Sudan to the South. And the Mediterranean sea is to the north.
I thought that this was way to funny not to share with you guys :lol:

From Wiki :

"Egypt is a transcontinental country, and a major power in Africa, the Mediterranean region, the Middle East and the Islamic world. Covering an area of about 1,010,000 square kilometers (390,000 sq mi), Egypt is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west."

Got that right. Could'nt wait to get out of there, and had to spend 40 years wandering around in the desert before I found my way home. :wink: :lol:

Hate to bust your bubble Nonnig but Fox News is the only agency exposing whats really going on - from Egypt to the Obama Administration. Not that it affects you being from Iceland, but every other news broadcasting station and newspaper here is not telling us the truth. At least Fox is trying.

Hate to bust your bubble but this should tell you something about how FOX News fact checks their news. If they can't find where Egypt is on a map, then how are they fact checking everything else they are reporting. But I am getting off topic and don't want to turn this into a political topic, so how about to agree on disagreeing :wink: . :mrgreen:

So they are exposing Egypts invasion of Iraq?

Or is the truth you refer to that the war in Iraq litterally has blown them off the map?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hate to burst your bubble JDP but Fox News has a reputation the world over for being a laughing stock. If you're relying on them for factual and honest reporting then best of luck.

I don't see any room for conservative vs. liberal politics on this one. Destabilization in Egypt could easily spread throughout the region, cost thousands of lives and bring down world economies. It's too big of an issue to be taking parting shots at Fox, Obama, CNN or Rush. Serious business going on over there.

That's the rest of the story.....not unlike a National Geographic Special.....waiting for the lions, having filled their bellies, to leave their kill, and then seeing which of the scavengers gets there first to claim it, or watch the whole miserable lot of them fight over the remains. :?

It was pretty funny, but having been involved in live productions, these types of errors happen all the time. It has less to do with data / fact checking than it does of some poor intern in the back room getting handed a dozen slides and told to make it go on line live in 3-2-1 now.

Not a fact checking error necessarily. Most likely an over worked under paid intern in the back office trying to juggle 25 different requests from 30 different people all at the same time.
