Yes, rightly or wrongly, people with southern accents are considered dumb. This is because "official" America and people in positions of power generally use a midwestern accent (referred to as "no accent") rather than any pronounced regional accent.

Yes.

You will notice, even among news anchors in the twangy, southern states, they do not have southern accents. They have that "no accent" accent.

All news anchors, no matter where you go in the US, sound the same.

Note the women...they all sound exactly the same. Proper annunciation, no southern or cajun accents. Basically same with the men.
