Layers of Editors and Fact-Checkers Watch: Political Geography 090.

I’m not going to ask, Can you tell me what’s wrong with the first map below? I’m going to ask you, How long did it take you to figure out what’s wrong with the first map below?

Don’t worry if it took you a little extra time to find the second one; the fact that you got both still puts you two up on the New York Times.

  4. The NY Times mislabeled two states. I’d ask if it’s really that difficult to break out an atlas or Google a U.S. map, but I already know the answer.

  5. I was concentrating on numbers and graphical display of information, and whether they were misleading. I completely missed the labels until I read JCinQC’s comment.

  6. Not only did they have Minnesota labeled Wisconsin; they have Arizona labeled as Nevada.

    I wonder if the statistics are as good as the geography?
