4. that is just too wierd...

do all media listen to one source as to how to frame news?

this sure makes it look like there is only one bloody media outlet out there handing the script to all

5. wow so many

all saying the same thing. so glad i don't watch tv news. or talk shows.

6. OK, far too many saying the exact same thing to be a mere coincidence...

Someone, somewhere, handed down and edict saying, "You're going to cover this story, and here's what you're going to say." And of course, the talking heads just do and say as they're told.

This video is far more revealing than funny, though it is very funny. Occam's razor dictates that this is much more likely to result from intentional manipulation of the message than mere coincidence. I want to know who instructed all of these news anchors in what to say regarding this story. Furthermore, I want to know how else that person or persons have been manipulating the media for God only knows what ends...
