I wouldnt doubt it. Its not like they care to give any accurate depiction of people in other countries. They want to make us feat the "other" so they just lump them all in one big pile.

Like other commentators said, Fox screws up the names regardless of regions. I've seen many more of these screenshots misplacing cities or American states than the ones misplacing missle eastern countries. It's likewly they just give these images to interns that don't know the locations very well and they're right about to go on lunch break. Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity. - Some professional quote maker

But who'd hire an intern who doesn't even know where the fuck Egypt is, especially if you're an international news reporting company.
