  Kent Brockman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kent Brockman is one of the recurring fictional characters from The Simpsons, and is voiced by Harry Shearer.
Brockman represents the worst of his profession; frequently judgmental, careerist to the point of absurdity, and more than willing to film a schmaltzy, emotion driven puff piece for the sake of a few extra ratings points.
Brockman has a preteen daughter and a preteen son and has jealously mentioned his sister, who is a White House correspondent for CNN.

 List of recurring characters from The Simpsons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arnie Pie, voiced by Dan Castellaneta, is a disgruntled helicopter traffic reporter for Springfield's KBBL-TV, with his segment, "Arnie in the Sky" (the joke lying in the abstruse omission of the obvious pun).
An example of this is when a particular disaster strikes Springfield, Kent wonders on the air whether or not his house is okay to which Arnie replies disdainfully "You mean your castle, Kent!?" as he points to a very large house.
When's my right time?!" Another example is when Kent asked him about the contents of a hijacked van they were chasing, to which he replied "I can't see through metal, Kent!" He frequentlly drops something, or gets sick, and then warns people to watch out if they are on the street he is on.

 The Armchair Empire - Action Figure Reviews: Kent Brockman (The Simpsons)
As any fan of the Simpsons will tell you, Kent Brockman is the embodiment, the very amalgam, of the perfect newscaster.
The face is the most important part of action figures based on TV and movie likenesses and Kent has the same bored expression exhibited on TV.
The compatibility with the entire Simpsons line score huge points by itself, but take into account that Kent himself is tough, and he’s close to 10 on the playability scale.
