In celebrity jeopardy, CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien did not know that France was bigger than the UK in land mass

The final Jeopardy question was on the UN and asked which of the permanent member of the UN Security Council was the smallest. She said France while the answer was the UK. It just seems that a major anchor for a major media outlet should have some idea of important countries in the world. I wasn’t not sure if she even realized the UK was a member of the Security Council when the answer was announced. Is that what happens when journalism turns to reading of the prompter? But just on the geography a person who has definitly traveled to the countries as she has for her work should see that France is over twice the size of the UK.

Well that may be bad but earlier that week on celebrity jeopardy regis philbin was on there and the final jeopardy question was who is the co-host on regis’ morning show he answered kathy lee and got it wrong. I think Alex trebek rigged it because he was always jealous of regis’ success with who wants to be a millionaire.

Seeing she has high stature in her work I doubt Ms. O’Brien probably hasn’t done any of the dirty work in a long time. And she handles so much news on a daily basis that I bet it’s hard for her to retain ALL the information she has to take in, including info on the specific members of the UN security council. Another thing that could have happened is the pressure of being on Jeopardy and being expected to recall all that info. She might have been tired and just unable to remember that info in the time allotted.

Newscasters rarely write what they read. She reports the news with sincerity and she is convincing otherwise you would not be so surprised at her lack of world geography. Of course we can give her the benefit of the doubt and just say she made a mistake.

Only collectively in the space between their ears….

Also, this is not a question and France is a vast Cesspool of Human Rot…..

EDIT: I’m sorry, I apologize for that, I meant to say SUB Human Rot…..
