One time is bad enough. But again and again is just … painful:
Just heard @CNN correspondent repeatedly referring to the "Royal Canadian Mountain Police." Um, not exactly.
— Mark Potts (@pottsmark) October 22, 2014
CNN making itself legendary with REPEATED references to the “Royal Canadian Mountain Police”, apparently.

"Royal Canadian Mountain Police" – The lady on CNN must have said that six times. So funny.

Gotta love American media. Just heard a reporter on #CNN mention the #RCMP as "The Royal Canadian MOUNTAIN Police"!#Ottawa #OttawaShooting
— Scott Wylie (@ScottWylie7) October 22, 2014
@RosaFlores They’re the Royal Canadian Mounted Police not Royal Canadian Mountain Police.
— Adam Van Pelt (@AdamVanPelt) October 22, 2014
Thank you, #RosaFlores of #CNN, for repeatedly saying "Royal Canadian MOUNTAIN Police." No need to get it right when covering tragedy. #RCMP

I wish CNN would stop saying "Royal Canadian Mountain Police." #standwithOttawa

@cnnbrk we don't have "Mountain" police. #getitright

@CNNnewsroom "Mounted Police" NOT "mountain police". Ask your reporters to learn about Canada
— John Hindle (@Johnobiwan) October 22, 2014
Is it too much to ask that CNN corespondents be accurate? The RCMP are Mounted Police, NOT MOUNTAIN Police…..
— jennifer w. (@rivergirlsrule) October 22, 2014
@CNN Hey CNN. It's Royal Canadian MOUNTED Police, not Royal Canadian MOUNTAIN Police as your reporter says. Wolf don't YOU know better??

Also, it would be great if CNN could figure out it's Canadian Mounted Police and not Canadian Mountain Police. or just say RCMP. PLEASE.
— Victoria Denault (@BooksbyVictoria) October 22, 2014
Can the CNN reporter stop saying "Canadian MOUNTAIN Police" ?!!!!! Incredibly stupid!!
— Diane Nielsen (@dianenielsen86) October 22, 2014
COME ON CNN!! Didn't anyone for at least a second say "wait, Royal Canadian Mountain Police doesn't sound right.. I don't think that's it"??
— Nunya Dambiz (@doubledouble416) October 22, 2014

@CNN Canadians appreciate the attempts to cover our news but wish you'd get it right when you do. Canadian Mountain police? Seriously.
