Oh dear. Don’t look to Wolf Blitzer to let his colleagues know: He’s still stuck on the math portion, never mind geography and flags!
Twitter users noticed the latest CNN fail: Flags are hard.
On GPS this morning at 10 a.m. ET: A special live show on the events in #Egypt.

Fareed Zakaria offers both sides of the story in #Egypt finally; had time to really study issue. But, used Syria flag in a graphic of Egypt.

That’s right. CNN confused Egypt’s flag with Syria’s flag (a flag formerly used by the short-lived United Arab Republic).
