'Fox & Friends' aired a graphic suggesting there are three Mexicos
There's being bad at geography, an affliction from which many Americans suffer, and then there's being really badat geography. Whoever writes the on-screen text for Fox & Friends Weekendappears to be in the latter category.
How else would the morning news show have wound up with a chyron that claims the existence of three distinct Mexicos?
SEE ALSO:Fox News host admits on air that he hasn't washed his hands in 10 yearsThe chyron error, captured by CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter, reads "Trump cuts U.S. aid to 3 Mexican countries." The obvious issue being that there is only one Mexican country. It is called Mexico.

The actual news behind the graphic involved the Trump administration cutting aid to El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, none of which are Mexico. Only one of them, Guatemala, shares a border with Mexico.
Later in the day, as reported by Talking Points Memo, Fox correspondent Ed Henry issued an on-air correction for the chyron, calling it "inaccurate" and apologizing for the error.
Henry offered no explanation as to how Fox & Friends could have possibly referred to three different countries as Mexico plural. It's almost as if the show, and its number one fan in the White House, routinely misstate and misunderstand Central American facts in order to rile up its political base.
Almost.
