CNN’s leading political anchor Wolf Blitzer tweeted that he was in Edinburgh for COP26 – a pivotal summit which actually takes place 45 miles away in Glasgow – and Twitter couldn’t believe it.Early on Monday morning, the first day of the international summit, Blitzer tweeted: “I’m now reporting from Edinburgh in Scotland where 20,000 world leaders and delegates have gathered for the COP26 Climate Summit.”In the anchor’s defence, US president Joe Biden did touch down in Edinburgh for the conference.That did not stop his Twitter critics though, as the journalist came under fire for making a mistake often associated with Americans – muddling up key UK locations.Some people just thought it was typically AmericanSay you are American without saying you are American. https://t.co/vqv12JWYDW— Craig Reucassel (@craigreucassel) November 1, 2021Forgive me if I get my information from a news organization that managed to go to the right city— James Felton (@JimMFelton) November 1, 2021I once arrived in Dublin to interview an American band who it later transpired had meant “Belfast”. https://t.co/5Aeom3XeRl— Ben Machell (@ben_machell) November 1, 2021How very US media. Report on an event in a different country, but get the cities mixed up. COP26 is in Glasgow, not Edinburgh https://t.co/pdWzxy3WmH— Occasional Muppet (@SpittyWoonerism) November 1, 2021I love that @wolfblitzer (great name by the way) has travelled thousands of miles to come to the UK from Canada (US-Canada same thing right, I mean it's all north America) for #COP26 but couldn't be bothered doing an extra 40 odd miles to get to the correct city. https://t.co/hl7OfgZwGu— Nicholas Diable (@Defencebrief) November 1, 2021Others just didn’t want the joke to endplease don’t tell him https://t.co/tGUc2t3Sxo— Jim Pickard (@PickardJE) November 1, 2021And hours after it was first uploaded, people were still making jokes about itI'd pay good money to listen to the CNN producer calling Wolf to tell him the bad news https://t.co/JmaSNqgwcj— Sakhr Al-Makhadhi (@sakhr) November 1, 2021In case useful pic.twitter.com/gEOmc5rGHe— Adam Bienkov (@AdamBienkov) November 1, 2021And now Specsavers have got involvedShould've gone to Glasgow— Specsavers (@Specsavers) November 1, 2021Blitzer did seem to allude to his mistake in a following tweet, where he explained that CNN was going to have “live coverage of President Biden’s remarks at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow”.He then added: “Air Force One landed in Edinburgh and Biden made the drive to Glasgow where he was greeted by UK prime minister Boris Johnson and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.”He notably did not take his first tweet down, though.2 hours have gone by and this still hasn't been corrected or deleted? not a good look CNN— Adrian McKinty (@adrianmckinty) November 1, 2021Related...Liz Truss Says Giving Up Flying Isn't The Answer To Reducing CO2 EmissionsWhat Happens In Glasgow Could Set A Course Away From Climate Calamity – Or Cement A DisasterLiz Truss Gives France 48 Hours To Settle Fishing Dispute Before The UK 'Takes Action'
