Idiots of the Week: Fox News graphic refers to “3 Mexican countries.”

Screen capture from Fox News "Mexican Countries"
It's no surprise that Fox News would make "Idiot of the Week." In fact, they've earned that title many, many, many times for the lack of geographical knowledge, false news, prejudice, bigotry, misogyny, and support white supremacists, etc..
  Remember this BLUNDER?  when Aretha Franklin died, they showed a photo of Patty LaBelle. You can google it. 
 This week, though, they earned it once again because they think Mexico has "countries." SIGH.
Here's the story:
Fox News host apologizes for ‘3 Mexican Countries’ chyron: ‘It never should have happened’

“We want to clarify and correct something that happened earlier in the show,” Ed Henry, host of “Fox & Friends,” said Sunday. “We had an inaccurate graphic on screen while talking about this very story. We just want to be clear, the funding is being cut off to the three Central American countries. We apologize for the error.”
But before the apology came the tweet, the disbelief, the jokes and the reflection. And before all that, there was the chyron.
On Sunday, “Fox & Friends” quickly jumped to news of the president’s plans to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to three Central American countries over the flow of migrants to the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump has already warned of closing the border.
