What part of NH are you from? In some of the more rural upstate areas I've seen people get harassed for sounding too Boston. It would not at all suprise me to learn TV news stations try to get their anchors to sound more generic.

People in the US that are that difficult to understand are pretty rare. Not very many people are going to be confused by a Boston / NYC accent.

This, however...

Probably the most unusual accents in the US are the ocracoke islands and what you find in deep Appalachian areas, but Ireland and Scotland easily take the cake.

They're going to do the primary as usual here, regardless of whether or not the delegates get penalized for not listening to the national party. The momentum of candidates is what's important (supposedly).

In 2020, there were 24 delegates up for grabs in NH, and there were 3979 total. Those 24 "not counting" doesn't really matter.

If New Hampsha were a person, it would be wearing a parka and shorts in February, drinking a large iced from Dunks

I think it's cute honestly but I think the universal standard is good for news programs so that it remains intelligible across the US. I understand the Bostonian accent but I've heard Scottish people speak English sometimes that might as well be another language. I imagine there are probably plenty of other accents in the US that are also incomprehensible to me and lots of other people. Or maybe the Bostonian accent is incomprehensible to some people.

That's total bullshit. They just tore down the old high school a few years ago and built a brand new one and it's Voc school, so Dover gets taxpayer dollars from Barrington, too. Also, Durham sends their kids there for voc trades, Nottingham and Northwood kids got there, too, because Coe-Brown is so bad.
