They All Look Alike to CBS/AP

The infamous CBS "fact-checking" department was hard at work again, yesterday (via Little Green Footballs). A fitting error on Dan "fake but accurate" Rather's last day...

What's wrong with this picture? At least two people at CBS completely missed the fact that the flag is Japan's flag, not China's. Junior high level geography is evidently not a requirement to work in the CBS newsroom. Why should it be? Reporters aren't required to have a basic grasp of history or journalistic ethics, either. The error has since been corrected.

There are a couple of minor errors that have not been fixed. First, if you look at the lighting, the shadow should be to the upper right, not the lower left. Second, a LGF reader pointed out that this isn't even a picture of Earth's moon, but Dione, one of Saturn's moons.
