USA beats Old Europe in Geography

[Ted Striker]

Three U.S. teenagers won the gold medal Wednesday in the National Geographic World Championship, beating teams from Germany and France to successfully defend the U.S. title in a contest held every two years.

And Eurocoms always complain about USAers not knowing the world outside our own borders.


Das ist nicht sehr gut Deutschland.

This thread reminds me of Sava's "W eats a cake, that means he's a MORON!" -threads.

I can't believe that waste your time watching these 'news', yet alone making a thread from them. OTOH, This is another clear prove that CNN sucks.

A lot of this competition is luck. I lost at the middle school level to someone far less qualified. We had a round where they went around the room asking questions to about 40 people, eliminating on first wrong answer. On the test that was given to see who would qualify for the school-level competition, I'd gotten the highest in the school. Naturally, though I knew the answer to about 98% of those, on the second or third pass I got a question I didn't know the answer to. I had to sit through a final round between two contestants, where neither could answer any of the questions, thinking god... this is so obvious.

In addition to it's generally poor coverage, yes. CNN is too conservative.

[Dis]

Cnn is not conservative.

Fox news is conservative.

I find CNN to be fairly balanced. Though I do agree their coverage has been declining in quality the past 5 years or so.

CNN is really conservative from a European viewpoint.

@ the geography team thing. Clear proof that the US is the greatest country in the world.
