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.

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

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

it annoys me when they lie.

When they talk about the politics of an issue because they don't understand the substance of it (or condescendingly think their audience won't).
Or when they politicize tragedy.
Or when they play up the racial element of a story
Or when they say "90% of scientists support global warming" but never discuss the info those scientists make their decision from
that's a start

Takes a clear side. I hate it when journalists attack only one side and ignore and defend every action by their side. I wish we still had some expectations of impartiality.

Every morning I listen to a national radio show called America's First News with Gordon Deal. It's on from 5 am to 6 am. They have guests who are print journalists from places like WSJ, Wapo, USA Today, Politico, etc.
None of these print journalists can speak. Each sentence contains an average of 5 'ya know's and 10 'uh's.
I know there is a lot of jealousy that print journalists have toward broadcast journalists because the latter makes more money. But at least the guys on TV and radio can speak English beyond the level of a 12 year old.
