This grammatical screw-up is appearing more and more in the media. It is annoying.

A clear statement would be:

"A to D", which includes A,B,C and D.

or

"Between A and D", which includes only B and C.

"Between A to D" means nothing useful.

Why don't the media get editors/commentators/anchors, etc. that speak English?

If you're bored, go do something.

"Why don't the media get editors/commentators/anchors, etc. that speak English?"

Maybe that is what is the common disease here among editors/commentators/anchors, etc

Bubble headed bleach blonde, comes on at five. She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye.

Maybe that's the problem?

Talking heads - every one of them. Just reading what's on the 'prompter. Look at Katie C....all that hype CBS poured on us & what's her first big scoop? Pictures of some celebrity progeny. Geesh.
