I mean, it's pretty well-known that most local-news TV peeps go for that sort of flat, even "anchor" tone, but it's never been so splendidly displayed just how far some of them have to come to achieve that. Sort of like David Allen Grier in "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka," except with an actual, natural bl'accent to fall back on.
