Jim Lehrer, not sure where he's from, Mississippi maybe? Bill Moyers (Texas again).

Diane Sawyer, west Texas.

Judy Woodruff was in Atlanta before she went to PBS, but I don't know if she's from down there -- I kinda think so.

Charlayne Hunter-Gault was one of the kids who integrated Little Rock High, I think. Ed Bradley, maybe.

Hodding Carter III is a Mississippian from an old newspapering family.

Cokie Roberts is none other than Cokie Boggs, daughter of the mighty Wade Boggs of Louisiana, longtime power in the House of Representatives, and of Lindy Boggs, who held that New Orleans seat for over 20 years.

Charley Rose is from North Carolina.

Good list. Lots of "Southern voices" on the air, and I don't recall anyone making fun of their accents. I do make fun of most of their lefty bias, but their accents mean absolutely nothing to me.
