It is perfectly okay to call out "seasoned" journalists @subcide - they're supposed to be well-briefed ahead of time, and represent the US.

@mollydotcom (Also, that wasn't aimed at you personally, just the general twitter sentiment I've been reading ALL day.)

@subcide Yes, it is their fault. They could have had a local expert there to round out the ignorance - anything but that. I'm horrified.

@mollydotcom My understanding is that producers are responsible for that, not anchors.

@subcide Would you stand before the whole world without making sure you had some facts to hand? It was a #FAIL. That's that.

@mollydotcom It was a #mistake. Personally, I'm glad they were honest. It's not a shameful thing not to know.
