It's sad that it's disappearing. I've noticed it over the last 10 years. Still have my strong accent, even though I moved a few years ago down to NJ. My Boston accent is very strong and noticeable, and I'm proud of that. I've also noticed that my friends that are still back home, are pronouncing more of their R's, and the younger generations have no trace of the accent we grew up on. Sad.
Boston mystique and what charm it had Is "ova" way to many transplants and immigrants that have taken on the masshole personae in their attitude and driving habits.

You gotta visit Stoughton or Brockton to get the real Massachusetts flavor. Boston is full of phonies now
I live in RI and I love mine accent
No one should think the have to "work on the accents" they should be them selfs.
I am from mass .western Mass. i loved the accents
Why is it that as soon as you cross from Eastern MA to Western MA, almost all of the Boston accents disappear and everyone is pronouncing their Rs?
I like how the anchor is blatantly saying he had to consciously develop a generic American accent for his job
I've noticed this everywhere. Even in Ireland and England. What used to be a very pronounced accent sounds much more generic.
Revere is in the same county as Boston and we are getting so over developed that you can't even see the beach anymore shame on Developers

No. We have Ben Affleck to make bad movies as a method of cultural preservation. Lol
Bit sad. Try to preserve it, newscasters should speak with the accent and u should learn it in school
No one in NYC has a accent anymore it’s very disappointing way to many people from other areas which is also the downfall of NY :(
😂 oh my whateva will we do?
Are you kidding me.... No one even speaks English anymore with all the immigrants that are allowed here
Gentrified speech
There is no Boston accent. Its just an entire region of people who speak incorrectly
California liberals
I don't like you people I think you're making fun of Boston you should be ashamed of yourselves
How can you love Boston it's one of the worst cities in the country
