Does anyone notice now it seems that Niger is no longer pronounced Niger, its become Nisheeer. When did the media up and decide to do this.

I think they are using the French prononciation.

I think it sounds like a really stupid..sounds someone speaking with a fake accent.

...its become Nisheeer. When did the media up and decide to do this. East coast lib'rals--the same people that pronounce Nevada, "Nevahda". The correct thing to do is to find out how Nigerians pronounce the name of their country, but that's asking too much of media lib'rals--they know better than those unwashed heathens.
