George Carlin was good at it, but we don’t have specifics at the ready. You’d have to do a Google search.

Anyway, we’re not picking on one network in particular, because they all do it, but we’ve posted an example (below Jeni’s routine) of a reporter sticking a microphone in the face of a Hurricane Harvey victim…

…pretty much the way Richard Jeni predicted some 30 years prior.
