I found nothing that made my skin crawl in that particular article. However, if you'd like to this old grouch cringe, just stick "comprised of" anywhere in a sentence. Or write a page or so to convey nothing more than the headline. Completely mangling names, especially those of countries, will have the same negative effect.

Perhaps I was spoiled by growing up with people like Frank Reynolds, who actually knew something about the stories he reported, and didn't care so much about his hair or wardrobe.
