On MSNBC The Place for Politics - Thomas Roberts

[LiberalFighter]

He doesn't know how to pronounce rosin. He pronounced raisin. He went through the ingredients for the white and black smoke for the pope.

1. Well, it's the place for politics not the place for papal procedures

But I'm happy to know how to do this in case I ever want to select a pope.

3. Except the church has made it political.

By the way rosin is also sports related.

2. He's hardly the only one who needs to read through the stories BEFORE using the teleprompter

I frequently cringe at the mispronunciations...

Once upon a time, the newsreaders actually helped write the pieces... That's why I still have respect for those of my childhood, from Huntley and Brinkley, Cronkite, and all from that era through to the late Peter Jennings and Dan Rather.

Generally speaking, the nicest thing to be said about the current crop is that they "clean up well" and that seems to be all required.

4. I would think that rosin should be an easy word to pronounce correctly since

it is mentioned enough in baseball and gymnastics.
