You’re going to be hearing from Utah about this, Fox News. They most certainly are NOT responsible for Harry Reid. To be “fair and balanced,” however, we would probably be completely wasted all the time too if we worked in the Fox News graphics department.

Hola wonkerados.
To improve site performance, we did a thing. It could be up to three minutes before your comment appears. DON'T KEEP RETRYING, OKAY?
Also, if you are a new commenter, your comment may never appear. This is probably because we hate you.

Alaska is shaped like a donkey to honor their half-term Governor, ass that she is.
If you're saying Sarah what's-her-name is half-assed, I disagree! She is much of an ass as a person can be.
Full-on-assed?
If you research the "NAilin Palin" videography, your question may be answered.
Just another case of the Main Stream Media run amok. So few people forget the savage invasion Nevada unleashed on Utah in search of women. Thank God FOX News is there with the truth.
Wait, "NV" means "No Vaginas"?
I'm pretty sure I saw a number of vaginas last time I went to Nevada
Must of went to the amateur show at the Ponderosa Strip Club?
As always, we need a lawyer to explain this.
"I got your Western Path right here" said he, grabbing his crotch.
I propose that the new state between NV and CA be named either "splunge" or "Joe the Plumberstan sponsored by Monsanto"
Did he say splunge?
Oh, splunge, splunge.
I propose the state of Vega$. It must be spelled that way, too. Vega$.
How bout 'Spooge'. Also, Gamblonia. The Great Sandy Waste. [from Return To Oz]. New Utah.
The Fox News Graphics Department obviously participates in the Department of Labor's "Hire the Stupid" program.
To be fair, and balanced, there is a lot of confusion to the naming of the western states due to that pesky "Indian Territory" problem.
Brilliant. Not just the Nevada bit, but also that the Western Path involves winning the South, the Midwest, the Great Plains and none of the three westernmost states in the lower 48.
Well, they are still using those perfectly good geography textbooks from 1850.
Fox News: Another Day, Another Clusterfuck.
Though, given their viewer base, I'll bet none of them even noticed.
Some "professor" correlated knowledge of current events with news source among New Jerseyianites. People who do not watch the news know more about the news than Fox viewers.

Wow, the 2010 Census must have changed things more than I thought. I had no idea that Colorado, New Mexico and Not-vada had a combined 246 electoral votes. You throw in the 351 that Rhode Island has and that's your victory right there.
Well it's easy to mix up the state of gambling, tons of drinking and legalized prostitution with the state of Mormons and severe restrictions on liquor sales.
Virtually separated at birth!
They are the yin to each others yang.
Well seeing as Utah has more porn consumption per capita than any other state, they truly are as kindred spirits.
Pfft. That map is so obviously wrong. Hawaii is off the coast of Ecuador, not Texas! (R.I.P., Rick Sanchez)
Yeah, I was out in the Big Bend a couple months ago, and I had to drive a lot further than they are showing to pick up a six-pack in Honolulu.
Yeah, right. We all know that the Big Bend is in London.
I thought that guy played in Pittsburgh.
I thought the Big Bend was some kind of theory or something.
It's only a theory!
I love Benny Goodman and that Big Bend music!
Damn, when people were complaining about brown people with pink underwear in Arizona, I thought they were talking about Messicans, not Hawaiians.
After all the debacles with John Ensign, Sharron Angle and Jim Gibbons, Nevada decided to move away. Can't blame them.
Utah, being 70% Mormon & mostly unacceptable to the rest of the population, "Jesusland's" Berlin. The question remains: will their allies in Trampoline City (Portland) airlift supplies to the Beehive State?
"See Roger? We told you to give Al Franken a show, but nooooo."
Man, the Kenai Peninsula has really let himself go.
Fox news needs to fire the graphics department, and hire their former employees' third grade children in their place — they work much more cheaply than unionized graphics designers, and it will give the kids a break from cleaning toilets.
Wait, there are unionized graphic designers? When did this happen?
One can wish, but no. Tech workers are just supposed to be glad to have a gig, cuz there's an Indian dude standing outside your cube waiting until you slip up.
More proof that reality has a liberal bias.
The Mormon Tabernacle Hotel & Casino has the loosest slots in town.
What!!?!!
Oh, you said "slots." Never mind.
Mormons own more casinos than you might know. See J.W. Marriott.
Isn't Marriott like the largest purveyor of video porn in the nation?
I thought it was Jared from the Subway commercials.
I thought it was my home computer.
Not when the One Nation bus tour drives through.
They would have figured out their error if they had been required to label all 57 states.
Har har.
Heinz Libel!!!
I personally believe that U.S. Fox Americans are unable to do so because many people out there in our nation don't have maps. Also, maps such as like, the South Africa and the Iraq and the such as.
They don't give a shit. Whatever they air on teevee = truth to their shit-for-brains audience.
Hey Republicans: See the map? You need to sink all of your ad buys, ground game, and other resources into that state just to the west of Colorado to ensure victory.
Terrible map. FOX forgot to label the states of Egypt and Iraq. You can't have a Western Strategy without their electoral votes.
With Herman Cain out, there's no way they can take Libya. Strategy foiled!
Ah, old libyalibyalibya.triple–e.com
You had me at "Fox News Fails".
Hmmm. Once again you prove that it does not pay to shilly-shally around in this crowd….beat me again.
I'm already really tired of this red state/blue state electoral college nonsense.
It creates the illusion that sparsely populated states are electorally equal to more populated states, and ignores the millions of votes that went to candidates in states they lost.
I don't get it. Look at all that red. The USA clearly tilts to the right.
Cows are people too, my friend!
Cowperations bring the milk. Beesnuises bring the honey. Land of milk and honey!
Its the only way they have to help convince their viewers that the majority of Americans don't vote for the Socialists.
Wait a minute, aren't Socialists also called "Reds"?
Fox News is totally NYC-based, isn't it? They really don't know shit about middle America, and it shows, but that doesn't stop flyover country from being happily brainwashed. I've long wondered why they don't relocate to, say, Jackson, or Tulsa, to walk the walk of being so fervently red-state. (Not. It's just more hypocrisy.)
Faux execs cheat on 'Murica by going out at lunchtime and having themselves one of the 200 foreign cuisines for lunch, that they can only get in NYC. Thanks to immigrants.

I thought they'd call Utah "Rand McNally."
Someone should ask Guv' Rick if he can find Solinda on that map.
I already live in the disputed lands between NV and CA as delineated by the Von Schmidt Line. This will have a terrible effect on my self-of-steam.
What about the effect on your self-of-ice?
This is actually brilliant on the part of FOX News. Confuse everyone as to which state is which. As legions of people follow the FOX maps to vote, they will be arrested for voter fraud, and the Republicans can have the Supreme Court ratify their nominee.
In other words: Hello President Palin!
The Fox Method: Spend all your money on vapid famewhores, spend no money on actual worker drones, act surprised that everything is completely fucked up constantly.
Utah, Nevada… it's all just Deseret, right?
I see what you did there.
Technically there are only 45 states,and 4 Common wealth's,and 1 Republic( Texas) in the U.S. State in a generic term. plus our territories.
First it was gerrymandering the voting districts now it’s the states! The republicans have no shame.
FOX blows it again. I mean, if they'd just put "Egypt" there where Nevutah is located and labeled the graphic "The Middle Eastern Path," just think of the legions of wingnuts who'd be agitating against "Sharia law" and "invented people" and whatever else they think constitutes the Arab world.
Geography has a liberal bias
They report, we decide … that they're a bunch of idiots.
OT, your forum name makes me happy.
"You mean there's a NEW Mexico?"
A viewer that lives in Nevada-
"Honey, load up the van… we're in the wrong state. Look, we're supposed to be over here."
"Derp!"
So when does Fox update Wikipedia?
Oh & BTW, Fox REALLY hates Mitt Romney:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/ben-smith/2011/12/f…
That's just great!
NOBODY could make that mistake by accident.
That was pretty funny.
Best Fox graphic ever!!!!
For the nostalgic amoung you, a little trip down memory lane.
Nevada got so sick and tired of Jan Brewer, they moved to Utah. How har d is this, people???
Well how would most Fox viewers know there was an issue. After all they don't need none of that fancy book learning with all the common sense they have.
Wait–if common sense was so common, wouldn't we all have it, too?
I guess since they keep saying that America is a Xtian nation, it only make sense that they would do away with Utah.
Another wonderful example of homeschooling.
Makes you wonder how Fox News viewers turn out to be least informed out of everyone else. I think you can stop wondering.
Reminds me of when O'Reilly mislabeled Utah as Uz-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan. And when he mislabeled lady parts as "loofahs".
I can't wait until the 'puters at the Ruppert Murdoch terrorist news organization begin spitting out all of the possible ways a Gopper can win in '12. It will look like the fucking end of "War Games" when WOPR speeds through all of the nuclear exchange contingencies. And in the end they will learn, finally, that the only way to win is to not play.
How. About. A. Nice. Game. Of. Chess?
Tempest in a teapot. It's all desert and mountains so who cares? Rupert, after all, is from Oz, where such mundane details don't matter much.
I'm surprised that they got NM right. Usually we refer to it on national maps as "that state where the weatherman's ass is".
Vegas is the same thing as Salt Lake City, essentially.
…except by law you can only have one stripper. Was required for statehood.
Speaking as a Coloradoian, I am happy to welcome NV next door.
Should make it a much quicker trip to the casinos, for the shows.
I was thinking more in terms of the Mormans being farther away.
Brigham Young might've called the saints back to Utah in 1857, but a shitload of 'em snuck back to populate NV and ID. The results ain't pretty.
apparently alaska has run away to tijuana.
Bill O,Sean,Gretta,Ann,Megan.and the entire fox&Friends combined IQ's still would hit double digits.Steave Doochy ,once got stuck in an Open air phone booth.The firer Dept.had to come ,and tell him," Just let the phone go Sir."
"Scenario 2": Proving once more that we are a bunch of unthinking hacks.
Duh, Utah is a (D)
Fox News as most right wingers are bad at geography.G.W.Bush once called Nigeria a Continent.You know, the one nobody knows about?
OMG!! HARRY REID IS GETTING CLOSER TO THE FOX STUDIO!!!
NV is n.b.
Every US American should know there is a thin, usually dotted line between pimps and Mormons…
What happens in Utah, stays in Utah.
Ya gotta love that consistency……………………..
You Repugs aren't gonna get any of my Nevadas!
The level of Fox News FAILs reached a new high in 2011, I think. This takes the cake, but it definitely wasn't my favorite of the Great Fox News FAILs of the year:

I just called my dog to ask if someone named Baldar had shown up to haul off my computer. The dog just whimpered into the phone. What the hell is a dog good for if they can't protect my things!!!
