‘Drunk intern’: CNN mixes up Cardinals logos in graphic of NFL teams

http://twitter.com/#!/HoosierWolves/status/512721049968836609

It was just a bit ago that CNN demonstrated that math is hard by displaying a graphic showing the “yes” vote for Scottish independence edging out “no” by a count of 58 percent to 52 percent. Now, CNN is showing that sports can be difficult to keep straight as well.

@jeffpearlman Isn't that the baseball Cardinals?

— laurakfillault (@laurakfillault) September 18, 2014

The bat in the logo would seem to suggest that, yes. St. Louis Cardinals, Arizona Cardinals — what’s the difference?

@jeffpearlman It's like they don't even care about being accurate. I mean, seriously. The Vikings haven't used that logo since 2012.

The logo might not even be the most egregious error in the graphic, according to some.

Eric Boehlert blasts Twitchy for questioning FLOTUS on childhood obesity

http://twitter.com/#!/EricBoehlert/status/365122249885351936

So what if the decline in childhood obesity started in 2003, seven years before Michelle Obama announced the Let’s Move! initiative. If you question the FLOTUS-is-responsible-for-all-good-things narrative, you’re nothing more than an anti-science moron. So says Media Matters “Senior Fellow” Eric Boehlert:

http://twitter.com/#!/EricBoehlert/status/365132690044878848

Serious question: Does Boehlert know he’s peddling junk science or does he actually believe the garbage he writes?
