Most TV news readers do not know the difference between an adjective and an adverb. When asked how they are they say “I am good” when they should say “I am well.” I guess they don’t teach kids how to diagram sentences.
Also, big name news readers mispronounce words. I hate it when Britt Hume says “On Tuesdee the candidit said he would make an announcement on Thursdee.”

I believe that's a regional accent, not a mispronunciation.

Not to split hairs, but there is no right or wrong when it comes to the day/dee ending of the days of the week. Both have been around forever, and both are correct. Just checked the Oxford to make sure I was correct, and indeed I am.
