US TV covers Glasgow summit from Edinburgh
US TV network CNN was mocked yesterday for suggesting the Cop2 summit was happening in Edinburgh, not Glasgow.
‘I’m now reporting from Edinburgh in Scotland where 20,000 world leaders and delegates have gathered for the Cop2 Climate Summit,’ said presenter Wolf Blitzer alongside a tweeted photo of a temporary studio in the Scots capital below its famous castle.
Opticians Specsavers joined in the online derision, changing the tag line of an advert to: ‘Should’ve gone to Glasgow.’
CNN later clarified that it does have cameras in Glasgow for the summit in addition to its base in Edinburgh, where US President Joe Biden is staying.
