  3. Can someone tell that investigative journalist to at least say "dat" instead of "zat" when trying to say "that"? Or anything that has "TH" in it? I mean, it shows complete ignorance towards the English language… she doesnt even try to say it right!! She just says whatever rolls easily on her toungue!! Just redigulous for someone who is sitting in the middle of a documentary and trying to make people believe in her words against one of the most controversial leaders the world has ever seen… nonprofessionalism whatsoever.
