Southern accents, Eastern accents, Northern accents and Ebonics

I'm not gonna stop with the bright colors anytime soon...anyway, the "neutral" or "newsanchor" accent is exactly what I mean, most people in the Midwest, have a neutral accent-it doesn't make us better, but you have to ask yourself why no matter where in the country a newsanchor is reporting, they seem to sound like midwestners...it's not an elite opinion, because my family orginates from Tennesse, Mississippi and Puerto Rico-a gamut of accents...it's an observation

Good for you.

I'm sure there's a better green you can use, though.

There's a "news anchor" accent because of the appearance of accent neutrality and the ability to be easily understood by whomever. However, this is not to be confused with the absence of an accent or that a "Midwest accent" is not easily detected.
