In fact these examples don't really even deserve a place in any news script, even if corrected, because the best news writers don't use cliches.
I looked before leaping into this discussion as I was worried that my comments might leave me teaching grandmothers how to suck eggs. However, I'll just grit my teeth, bite the bullet and talk the hind leg off a donkey while explaining that I could probably spout cliches till the cows come home.
I may be clutching at straws or possibly grasping nettles here.
It's true that all News Journalists are advised to avoid cliche at all times, but it's amazing how often they "creep in" (to use another cliche!) to news scripts. Often it seems, a journalist will bash the script together intending to revise it later, but doesn't get the chance. Of course the Editors of programmes are supposed to approve scripts before they make it to air and if another journalist is given the job of reading the script live, then they may well revise it themselves. But famously things do "slip through the net " (and another!).
My favourite, although not an example of cliche but rather one of lack of copy checking, was when a story about a steel strike in South Wales began with the words, "There were scenes of delight in Port Talbot tonight, as the news of the settlement spread." Say it aloud and you'll see just how silly that sounded on the radio !
That's taken from Will Wyatt's book "The Fun Factory", which is a good read and an interesting insight into the workings of Television Centre in the 70s and beyond.
