Have the Czechs invaded Slovakia or is their map 21 years out of date?

Seriously its no wonder so many Americans are geographically challenged when even the media use such out of date maps. The Czech Republic and Slovakia parted ways in 1993.

LOL - the liberals who believe everything that MSNBC spoon feeds them would definitely be bamboozled.

It is MSNBC, cut them some slack. They are a propaganda organization, you can't expect them to cover news too.

Most americans are geographically challenged, it has nothing to do with the media.

Shouldn't MSNBC be able to get their hands on some current maps?

Maybe they are facing budget problems due to no one wanting to watch their programing.

I agree. The fault there lies with our public indoctrination centers (public schools) that are doing such a miserable job educating our youth on any subject matter other than sexual curriculum.

Oh please that's just not true. The focus is on math and science. History doesn't seem to be that important anymore

How about the history of math and science, which is essentially history itself?
