Maybe I'm getting more sensitive to it, or it's an increasing evidence of deteriorating language skills. If find it especially annoying from live TV reporters, many of whom I know to have completed higher levels of education in journalism and/communications. I am referring what seems a compulsion to add words where not needed, such as "That's what they are say right now", or "Right now on Capitol Hill", or "Look at this right here".

Such is happening right now, and with more frequency than in the past, if memory serves right now.
