    Ah. I’ll grant that because it’s an accent that guy liked, it became a prevalent accent in news and popular media.

    I’d still push back on it being bland, since that’s still just familiarity. Someone who grew up in rural Appalachia without electricity hearing it for the first time would find it quite thick and probably make fun of it and find ways to exaggerate it.
