Very hard to believe.

Why would anyone make a map from scratch?

Where is the link?

Photoshop intern learns a valuable lesson to always double-check your work. Preferably, have a 2nd set of eyes look at it.

Or dismissed the murder of Terri Schiavo as "no big deal." Wait. What?

He DID do that.

Thanks for the link.

Even if being done by some unpaid intern, why would anyone modify the map beyond just color?

It almost seems like it would have to be intentional to make Carson look bad.

They didn’t make that map from scratch, they took an existing image and altered it.
