In
a news report on the spread of the Ebola virus in West Africa yesterday, CNN
made a huge blunder by erroneously referring to Niger republic as Nigeria.
The
station which is claiming that there are 1,603 cases, 887 deaths and a 55%
fatality rate broadcast the above image to highlight the affected countries -
Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. But they erroneously highlighted Niger
republic rather than Nigeria which is right below Niger.
Looks
like someone at CNN needs a crash course in Geography
