TV journalism:
1. Never expected to hear a reporter use "I'm rubber and you're glue" when discussing a Presidential election. I mean, not even as a joke, but it seems to sum up the Republican primary at the moment.
2. In the annals of mispronunciation, never have so many mispronounced so few. That is, every one of your organizations knew where the Pope was going on his tour. Even if you didn't get the t-shirt, I highly suspect it was announced in a printed or emailed press packet. If you didn't know how to pronounce the place names, you had time to look it up.
Meanwhile, several major stations' anchors (from multiple different countries) have ALL struggled to pronounce where the Pope is. It's that region of Mexico "devastated by drug wars". Say it with me, now ... Michoacán.
3. MSNBC has resurrected Brian Williams for occasional political reporting? Interesting.
