Newsmax host Rob Finnerty asks why anchors pronounce Spanish-sounding names with an accent

Newsmax host Rob Finnerty asks why anchors pronounce Spanish-sounding names with an accent, starts talking in an Irish accent to prove how ridiculous it is.

"As I've said before, I am Irish. And if I was moderating that debate, would the host introduce me as Robert James Finnerty, don't you know the little lad that he is Robert James Finnerty?"

"If the host was Chinese, would they then introduce that person with a Chinese accent? I don't think so. Stop it."

Brilliant.
