On a lot of news T.V.\ channels, they place the camera quite far away from the
newsreader, making it almost impossible to notice they are looking at the
teleprompter, instead of directly into the lens. Maybe that would be a solution
to this pressing issue ?

Alternatively, dark glasses could be used, or even better, glasses with painted
eyes on them from the local joke shop. If you were feeling sadistic and wanted
to further the misalignment, how about glasses with spring-loaded eyes ?
