Inappropriate violations

Reporter from KATU, regarding the hockey team's fines and sanctions:

The Winterhawks are in the penalty box for inappropriate violations of player benefits.

But gosh, I wanted to hear the rest of the story detailing which violations would be appropriate.

Non-reporter but TV c4^p

[TV commercial]:
"Hurry in because this limited time offer won't last long."

Redundancy (again!)

Mt. Angel man dies in fatal crash near Silverton

[From the Statesman-Journal, Saturday November 3, 2012.   The headline writer is just trying to be helpful, so you don't think a man died in a non-fatal crash.]

 

Another redundancy was a TV reporter, "...and you have to see this firsthand with your own eyes to really understand the extent..."  As opposed to seeing it secondhand with your own eyes? Or firsthand through someone else's eyes?
