Chris Matthews makes something like $5 million a year doing his show. Barnacle and Buchanan are well-paid fixtures on MSNBC every day.
Yet after months since the president nominated her for the Supreme Court not one of these very serious TV politics guys can pronounce "Sotomayor".
I keep hearing "Soto-my-air" and "Soto-my-ear".
One of the first things you learn about being in broadcast news is that accurately pronouncing names is an important step to being taken, you know, seriously. I mean, your job is to talk about important people. Maybe these cable news guys aren't always accurate with what they're saying, but at the very least they could attempt to get the names right.
I probably shouldn't be so outraged since guys like Matthews spent the better part of two years referring to our president as "Osama".
