I speak English good.

Ok, I know this might sound trite, but aren't reporters supposed to be able to speak English?  I mean, when selecting people to represent a national news network on live television, shouldn't decent grammar be a basic prerequisite? So, I'm watching Fox News recently, and Dan Luois (who I'm sure is a fine, stand-up guy) utters the following two phrases in the span of no more than two minutes:
Things are going good. There's not enough beds.
Now, I know that he's reporting from the middle of a war zone, and that he's not reading from a prepared report, but c'mon, this is basic shit!  You're job, Dan, is to fly out there, look at what's going on, and tell us about it.  If you can't master basic grammar, go home.
