Yeah, the news already has standard looks and standard cadence while reading scripts. A computer made anchor won't go off script, always speaks the same and doesn't decide to change the hairstyle.

It's why the Onion can make such great fake news coverage, or movies use news coverage as an introduction to world building. It's very reproducable...
