Journalist’s Shocking Ignorance About Alaska and Russia Sparks X Roasting – Twitchy

Will Kingston is a journalist and commentator in London England. Apparently, geography is not his strong suit. 

Because of the way that maps are normally drawn, I had never realised that the US (Alaska) and Russia are almost touching. I am shook. pic.twitter.com/4NnDcwQwhQ

Sarah Palin can see Russia from her backyard and stuff.

It really is. 

They can’t call you a globalist if you’ve never seen a globe https://t.co/WJPBRnzJeL pic.twitter.com/gA5FLIfqQp

This man is ignorant, but the sad thing is that he is so ignorant he not only didn’t know this, he didn’t know why not knowing it is such a problem. https://t.co/kMJ2Ej4GLL

He also doesn’t think it’s a problem he talks about world events but doesn’t understand basic geography.

How old were you when you saw a globe for the first time? https://t.co/Q2Mt7YNX0V

People from the UK try to pretend their education is so much better than American education.

Basically.

Clickbait much? This is basic geography in the U.S. and obvious if you owned a Rand McNally globe. I got secondhand embarrassment for you reading this.

If you don’t know anything about Russia, it’s okay to not comment for X bucks. Leave it to the professionals. 😉 https://t.co/uH29L7e1nH

42K followers and a career as a TV expert and he’s a total retard https://t.co/zosGhmDQA0

He’s lacking imagination.

Sarah Palin’s political career ended after she mentioned Alaska’s proximity to Russia and SNL satirized it. Journalists are just now realizing “Wait, yeah, actually they are kinda close”. https://t.co/Z7Owlgfakt pic.twitter.com/Hd939a9TMW

Second look at Sarah Palin?
