CNN mistakenly labels Pennsylvania as New York in on-screen map

Despite Philadelphia shedding its Sixth Borough designation this week (thanks, Stereogum), it would appear that the state of Pennsylvania has some time to go before it overcomes New York’s hold.

Well, if you ask CNN, at least:

Now, before you get up in arms: No, New York did not annex our beloved state. A follow-up probably would have happened in that case, and our pretzels would already be replaced by bagels.

Instead, CNN’s New Day simply mislabeled Pennsylvania as New York on an on-screen map during a broadcast detailing developments in the case of two escaped New York State prisoners.

4. You're right. It is intern season. Remember this?

NTSB cans intern who ‘confirmed’ names of Asiana pilots

Somewhere in Washington, a summer intern apparently didn’t get the joke.

The unidentified intern at the National Transportation Safety Board allegedly seized the initiative, just as up-and-coming go-getters are supposed to do. Called by a Bay Area TV station on Friday, he “confirmed” the names of the crew members of an Asiana Airlines jet that crashed in San Francisco on July 6. The station, KTVU in Oakland, then read the names on the air and posted them in an on-screen graphic.

Only those weren’t actual names but the kind of racially insensitive names you used to make up in grade-school when you learned about puns (anyone remember the author of “Under the Grandstand,” for example?). In this case, the station reported that the crew included “Captain Sum Ting Wong” and “Wi Tu Low” and two others.

6. I knew the Stuarts were up to something when it came to New Amsterdam.

The Duke of York (later King James II) was given New Amsterdam by his Brother King Charles II. At that time it included the Delaware Valley and technically everything Westward.

King Charles then gave East and West Jersey to a couple of his creditors, then in 1681 the land WEST of the Delaware River to William Penn.

Thus under Dutch Rule New Amsterdam had included Pennsylvania but those Stuarts gave it away to pay off their creditors (no wonder the British overthrew them in 1689).

This just shows you New York is still secretly claiming Pennsylvania as part of New York, for it has been part of New Netherlands, those Stuart Kings had no business giving it away to their creditors.
