Ever notice how many globes are spinning the wrong way? What's up with that?
TV shows such as "Bizarre Foods", "America's Funniest Home Videos" (When Tom Bergeron was still on) and a few others have their globes spinning right to left (West to East). While the coast of California and Earth's angle might look such a way as to seem logical it is reversed the way they show it.
I also observed this phenomenon at a hotel in Sao Paulo at which I stayed back in 2013. They have a large spinning globe in front. I mentioned it but nothing was done about it.
Not that it's that important, but you'd think a TV show or other entity displaying a rotating globe would want to get it right.
I even remember way back in the 80s, NBC news(?) had the same situation and I seem to recall some kid called in and they corrected it.
