I have a problem with the use of the progressive when the “is” verb is not used. i.e. newscasters will truncate verbs so instead of saying Republicans were criticizing the President, asserting that he did xyz…. they will just say Republicans criticizing the President, asserting xyz.

“Oh, and how about the overuse of the word “myself”, when the user should say “me”?”
Yes, I agree on this one as well.
