How to Pronounce Beijing

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

How do you not know how to pronounce Beijing? According to the article, Brian Williams pronounces Beijing correctly--"Bay-jing." Seems obvious enough to me. But, according to the article, other morons including Bob Costas (who I normally like) and Meredith Vieira (who I have never liked) have been pronouncing it "Bay-zhing." Where do these morons get a Z from?

I guess you can invest a lot of energy into making yourself look incredibly stupid if you really try.
