Amazingly bad, that is. It appears Vox has erased Jordan from the map of the Middle East in its latest splainer of the Syrian civil war:

Hey @voxdotcom, #SaudiArabia does not border #Syria. Your article just erased #Jordan from the map. https://t.co/Y8cVwwoQYd pic.twitter.com/q5R2WFHiEv

What Vox has labeled Saudi Arabia is, in fact, Jordan. They’ve since corrected but have not amended the post with a note to readers.

Geographic fluidity at work?

Evergreen.

Update: Now Israel is missing:
