The media continues to mock Gary Johnson's gaffe on Morning Joe, when the Libertarian nominee for president admitted he didn't know the important Syrian city of Aleppo.

Sure, it was embarrassing. Johnson issued a statement afterwards that said he blanked on the question because he's human, but to be fair to the former New Mexico governor, cable news can be hard, especially in that format. Guests are never quite sure of the exact question that will be asked of them, and many others -- from Donald Trump to Joe Biden and even Barack Obama -- have made gaffes in the past.

Even the people in the media who love to gloat about their insight and intelligence can make a fool of themselves when they don't have a teleprompter in front of them.

Take CNN's Wolf Blitzer and his appearance on Jeopardy back in 2009. The news host didn't just do poorly, he bombed and finished with a negative number: -$4,600.

There were questions he knew the answers to, but he still lost points because of mispronunciations. It was so bad and funny it might as well have been a skit on Saturday Night Live.

The point here is that television can be hard, we all have bad days, and policy positions matter much more than 'gotcha' moments.
