Preventative

 I'm watching the 11 PM news. Some advice for newscasters about English.

The word is "preventive" not "preventative". As in preventive medicine. There is no such thing as preventative medicine.
I mean, this is just stupid. It is not OK. Have you ever heard of festative? Talkatative? Lactatating? Inventative?
preventative indeed. Newscastaters should know better.
