Mispronunciation

So I was watching a certain TV news coverage on Saturday night and the newsreader mispronounced the word 'plethora'. The news is a live streaming newscast, broadcast across statewide television. He is either uneducated, using words too sophisticated for him or it is another example of affirmative action gone horribly wrong. 

The competent newsreader is yet again banished into exile. 

This is not a racist based comment.
