Bad English on radio

I WAS tuning in to Radio Australia when I accidently picked up someone reading the news from a local radio station.
The news reader was reading a report of the hurricane that was about to hit the American state of Florida.
This was how the reader read the news: “A powerful arricane (hurricane) is about to eat (hit) Florida in the next few hours”.
I did not know that a storm like a hurricane had a mouth and teeth.
The meaning of the story was completely changed to something else.
The problem here is mispronunciation.
This particular news reader clearly has problems with the English language.
It is a problem in almost all radio stations as well.
The question is, how did these people get there in the first place? Did they undergo screening? When selected, did they undertake speech training?
This kind of presentation is disgusting and brings shame to the radio station.
The radio station management should review all its news readers, presenters and reporters and bring back the high standard of radio broadcasting that the people of Papua New Guinea have enjoyed over the years.
