I remember back when Nicaragua was communist all the newscasters would pronounce it Nee-rah-wah, yet they would call Paris Paris, not Pah-ree, Italy as Italy not Ee-tall-yah.

It was so hypocritical.

I'd love to see a white news anchor deliver his signoff with the usual midwestern accent, and then pronounce his name with an exaggerated Polish accent or Irish brogue for emphasis.

See how the suits like *that*
