    The only downside is it's on CNN so no one will actually see it.

    Seen a bunch of these in recent months. Kazakhstan, Georgia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia ... and the "special report" is almost always followed by a tourism ad for said country.

    CNN did initially refer to it as Uzbekistan, however.
