I have two.

1. They won't get off a story, even when it's been reported to death and EVERYONE is sick of hearing about it. (How many days have they been reporting about the molesing father from Austria?)

2. They are so stinking mellow dramatic, and it seems like they'll say anything to make a realatively un-interesting story sound like the end of the world - have to make EVERYTHING sound terrible. (They ought as well have headlines like "Oh dear God, we are going into a recession and everyone is going to die!" or possible "The war in Iraq isn't over yet and everyone hates the war and we're all going to die!" - you get the point. They are just too mellow dramatic.
