NPR'S LYNN NEARY CAN'T PRONOUNCE "VETO"

I heard Lynn Neary this morning on Weekend Edition Sunday on NPR. Is there no one on NPR who can adequately enunciate and pronounce the English language? Ms. Neary cannot say the word, "veto." She insists on "ve-do." I know that many of the brightest were born and raised in Brooklyn, but that does not justify keeping one's speech pattern in the Flatbush Avenue 1960's mode. No one should be allowed on NPR unless he/she passes an English articulation test. Unless we want our children to mangle the English language like some NPR anchors. Lynn Neary is not the only one who fails.

Here's part of her bio on NPR's site:

"Lynn Neary is a correspondent in NPR's Arts and Information Unit and covers books, movies, television, and arts-related issues and features. Since joining NPR in 1982 Neary has been heard frequently as a host on NPR's renowned news programs. Neary was All Things Considered weekend host from 1984 to 1992, a position she moved to after serving as newscaster for NPR's Morning Edition since 1982. In 1992, she co-hosted the NPR/National Geographic Society series Radio Expeditions with Alex Chadwick. She has also anchored NPR's nationwide daily call-in program Talk of the Nation as well as Morning Edition, weekday All Things Considered, and Weekend Edition Sunday."
