Is she another one of those reporters who speaks with perfect, accent-free, English until she gets to her name, which she pronounces with an exaggerated accent?

Saturday Night Live had a skit about that years ago.

They do the same thing with Latin names of people in the news. They'll be reading a straight story with a perfect Midwest non-accent about the Red Sox, for example, and get to "Manny Ramirez" and "David Ortiz" and read those names like they were working for a news station in the Dominican Republic.
