re: Inconsequential pet peeve English speaking reporters pronouncing their name with accent

It’s really a good signal for me to decide whether a person is a pandering, white knight, try hard though. When I hear a journalist speaking with a standard American dialect all of a sudden go overboard, uber-Latino with something like “Fernandez” or “Gonzalez”. That’s all I need to know that person can be dismissed from my information gathering realm.

It does bug me too. The Mexican reporters will talk completely normal and then when they say their name or a Mexican name, you can’t even hear it because they said it so fast.

I used to get a kick out of listening to foreign news reports in Spanish, French, German, or Russian. The reporters' accents match the language they speak perfectly until the name of a US city or sports team gets mentioned, and then the words are most usually pronounced with a perfect mid-west American accent before going immediately back to their native language and accent.
Sunday Night Football accidentally ran the Telemundo audio feed once. The announcers did the same thing with the names of the players.
Too bad that glitch never happened when Gary Danielson called a game.

It’s called virtue vocalling.

No, it's pretty close to being a political statement.

To someone completely and utterly eaten up by politics, sure.
