WNBC News: Bavaria Has Moved West!

On tonight's 11 p.m. news on NBC's New York affiliate, WNBC, co-anchor Sue Simmons read a story about the Pope's "favorite Bavarian beer." Unfortunately for Simmons and WNBC, the beer was from Stuttgart, as its very name made clear. Stuttgart is in the province of Baden-Wurttemberg, which is to the west of the province of Bavaria. Bavaria may make better beer than any other province in Germany, but someone needs to tell the news writers at WNBC that there are hundreds of beers in Germany, the majority of which are not brewed in Bavaria. Better yet, why don't the news editors hire someone who is familiar with Germany?
