Tuesday June 2, 2020, in his 8 p.m. newspaper broadcast on France 2, Anne-Sophie Lapix returned at length to the death of George Floyd, this African-American man who died during a violent police arrest. Indeed, since his death, America has come under fire from critics and the riots are increasing every day. It is to evoke this sad news that the ex-host of C to you contacted a reporter on site, but not everything went according to plan.
Just before the reporter's intervention, a map of the United States appeared on the air and on it, the city of Minneapolis where George Floyd died was placed in the wrong place.. The dot on the map rather highlighted Kansas as a viewer noted on social networks.
Internet users' anger
This little blunder, which is not the first, has obviously been noticed by some Internet users who did not fail to challenge the channel on Twitter. So we could read: "Serious France 2, since when Minneapolis is in place of Kansas? Check your cards before the news from 8 p.m. Don't take CNN's hit during our 2005 riots, please. A large lake is easy to spot"," France 2 which puts Minneapolis roughly in Colorado on their map" or "In the France 2 newspaper at 8 p.m. on June 2, we got a lesson in American geography by placing Minneapolis in the center of the USA".
For the France 2 newspaper at 8 p.m. on June 2, we were treated to a course in American geography by placing Minneapolis in the center of the USA ???#France 2 #Minneapolis # journalde20h #annesophielapix pic.twitter.com/zvujXlHuvS
