List things journalists do that annoy you

I'll go first - off the top of my head:
When a foreign journalist gives an entire news report in perfect English. If on radio, you would have no idea that English was not their first language, and then when they sign off or say where they are reporting from - they over affect their accent.
Somewhat related is when an American journalist goes overboard to pronounce foreign nations or capitals as if they were a native of that place. For example, when a journalist pronounces Cuba as cooba or Columbia as culumbia.
I know I'm picky, but I find that so pretentious.

Come on guys - be specific and substantive - you can do it.

When they talk in their ridiculous cadence that nobody on earth other than news people use.

The Bias is off the charts. It's like, their lips are moving, so they are lying, type shite....You can smell the agenda from a mile away.

Smacking their lips before speaking.

Show their obvious political bias and bald-face lie to the audience.

Speaking as someone who had a goatee for an extended period of time, that one doesn't bug me - did you have anyone in particular in mind? That might change my opinion.

Well it's 2017 - they are stupid and ugly unless you grow a legit pointy one like Rasputin or a European playboy. They're the hair equivalent of a Bluetooth earpiece.
F. Chuck Todd would be my example of a horrible goatee.

Thinking I care about their opinions. I don't, just report the fricking news I don't give a shite what you think about it.

Good call on Chuck Todd - he is pretty unfortunate looking and the goatee doesn't help. You would think he would be more of a radio guy.
PS - and Rasputin had a serious beard, no goatee :)
