Why does everyone make a "tsk" sound on Fox News?

Has anyone noticed lately that on Fox News everyone smacks their lips and makes a "tsk" noise when they begin to speak?
Obama does it, it's driving me nuts!

It’s a prepping noise made by users of neurolinguistics. If you can hear it, you’ve been programmed. We should ban you, just to be on the safe side. /h

It's a neurological response to the Reptillan mating call whistle.

TV is two-way now. They must not like what they are seeing in your living room.

Subconscious mimic of speaking. I think it’s common in small groups, workplaces, etc.

Because they know you should be watching better TV.

Oh! I wish you hadn’t posted this. I hate it when Obama does it- always before a big smug lie.
Now I’m afraid it’s all I will hear if I turn on Fox. The other speech tic I hate is that “vocal fry” the younger women are doing. That slow, low growley sound toward the end of their sentences.

I’d rather hear a “tsk” than hear every sentence start with “Well, I mean ....”

It’s a trick they use to get dogs and other animals to “talk” on screen - they put a lump of peanut butter under their tongues and someone else supplies the voice when their mouths start moving.

I don’t have TV and I don’t listen to Obama speeches. If this is really happening it has something to do with discoveries about how humans respond to certain sounds.
And yes, I’m dead serious.

To: al_c
Or beginning a sentence with “Lookit, ....” Is that supposed to be a contraction of “Look at it?” If so, it is not grammatically correct. The correct word is, “Look, ....”

I hate it when a guest begins every answer to a question with “So...”
To: al_c
What bugged me recently was noticing everyone (seemed more common with liberals) will start a sentence with “So...”. The same person would start every sentence with “So..” when asked a question. I don’t remember people doing this years ago, it seems like a new annoying phenomenon.
