re: #4 buzzsawmonkey

Lots of people have trouble pronouncing the "Ch..."--but there should be some prep course before they let you get in front of a camera which forces you to learn some basic pronunciations.

Especially when the co-anchor is Jewish...and can actually pronounce it..on channel 7.

They were also saying 'Shabad' on other channels. Why it can't be written phonetically on the script or teleprompter? Not a clue...some ideas, but all I can say is if they were pronouncing something in arabic.....
