It doesn't matter what the explanation is, it's WRONG. ABC radio news has a reader named Brian Clark that does this incessantly. Just this week he read a story about something that was 'shtrongly shtruck down' and I wanted to punch him in the face. Seriously - a professional news reader ON THE AIR doing this. Much hate.
Pronouncing “str” like “shtr” as in “shtrong” “shtrange”
