CNN Reports on COP26, But Gets City Wrong

Much hilarity on Twitter today after CNN’s Wolf Blitzer posted a photograph of himself with Edinburgh Castle in the background, accompanied by the words: “I’m now reporting from Edinburgh in Scotland where 20,00 world leaders have gathered for the COP26 climate summit.” Just one small problem Wolf: COP26 is being held in Glasgow, not Edinburgh.

If CNN can’t even be bothered to check which city COP26 is in, how confident can we be that the broadcaster will check any other ‘facts’ it broadcasts about the ‘Climate Breakdown’?

I think they wanted to write “Glasgow”, but then they were like “no… that would be too factual…”

Why isn’t he in Twitter jail for misinformation?

All that kit and equipment too, it’s not like he got off at the wrong bus stop.

Truly, it is a time of miracles. Soothsayers, necromancers, alchemists who can turn poison into gold, haruspices, snake-oil salesmen, zombie Presidents, American Truth-telling Time Travellers and Albion’s Own Disgrace, adrift in the non-continuum that is Scotia.

He’s probably wondering why no one is sitting in the seats next to him and why he hasn’t got anyone to interview! ๐Ÿ™‚

Also, he says “. . . where 20,000 world leaders and delegates have gathered for the COP26 Climate Summit.” Yep, he’s seriously lost the plot! What he meant to say was: “. . . where a handful of world leaders (minus the two most important ones – Putin & Xi Jingping) and 20,000 hangers-on gathered for the COP26 Climate Summit.”

Replace “climate summit” with “piss up”

Perhaps he’s a journalist in the manner of Ricky Gervais’ character in ‘Special Correspondents’, sitting in an apartment in New York.

Oh well, at least I now know what COP stands for having previously supposed it to be some reference to Copenhagen though for no particular reason.

For some reason, “COP 26” sits in my mind alongside of the American TV sitcom “Car 54, Where Are You?” As I recall, from the distant past, that had a cast of incompetent and bumbling characters.

I thought Twitter banned people when they spread misinformation? That is presumably the last tweet the fellow will be able to make.

Let the whole earth be wrong and CNN be correct.
If Wolf says it’s in Edinborough, that’s where it is.
Just like CNN tells us there’s nothing to see on Hunter’s laptop, and the 2020 Presidential election was the safest in history.

Maybe they didn’t want to show footage of Poopy Joe nodding off at the beginning of the conference, so they quickly rigged up the castle picture. Shame they couldn’t find a picture of a Glaswegian chippy..

Well, he’s doing this for Americans, and many of them will not have the foggiest idea where Scotland is, never mind the finer point of whether COP26 be in Glasgow or Edinburgh.

I was once asked in Colorado how long it took to drive from Denver to England, and what language they spoke there.

What is worse. To say they are in Edinburgh, proof of it is in the background, and think the conference is there. or say the conference is in Glasgow and pretend to be in Glasgow, whilst in front of a Edinburgh landmark which his viewers would even recognise as they all love E?

Yes, but what about Glasgow?

At least he recognised Edinburgh as being in Scotland, most Americans would have said Edinburg, England.

Maybe Wolf was in the tail car of Biden’s 85 vehicle motorcade which paused for a red light in Edinburgh and he got out.

The key point is that CNN sent its No. 1 anchor to cover this global-warming pow wow, showing the importance the network places on advancing this agenda.

Needless to say, there will be no stories challenging the science of the conclusions of these climate cultists.

And, amazingly, each Conference Of the Parties has been held at 1 minute to Midnight. No wonder Biden dozed off!

It’s a quality required by the MSM for all its presenters.
The ability to spread lies and deciet with a total ignorance on any subject yet maintain a friendly comforting smile.
