I scream, you scream
well, you know the rest.
Thats the line dozens of local news anchors across the country read off their teleprompters recently, giving Conan OBrien plenty of fodder for what has become a regular segment on his showsupercuts of TV anchors saying the exact same thing (video above).
(Excerpt) Read more at mediabistro.com ...
TOPICS: Culture/Society; News/Current Events; Political Humor/Cartoons; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: bias; media; news; reading
This was done, quite well, by Conan O'Brien in a humorous vein. And while this is an example of a "feature" story being read the same way over and over again...
I challenge anyone to deny that the POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC stories of the day aren't read
the same exact way.
I wish newsbusters.org and/or some other media watchdog program on our side would employ the grass roots and create some "local" affiliates with bloggers to keep an eye on the bias that is SOOOO evident in local newscasts.

That’s why the MSM is referred to as “The Liberal Echo Chamber”..........

Isn't this exactly what Rush does pretty much every day? The drive by media mimicking each other?

No. It proves they're nothing more than propagandists reading a script from a single source ("ministry of information").

I think it was a gag, I’m guessing he got these folks to play along.

Rush does his “media montage” bits sometimes, and it’s the exact same thing - talking heads all parroting talking points.

This is why TV news is useless to people who want to know what’s really going on....and why the government will find a way to regulate the internet.
To: SoFloFreeper
Rush does this a lot. His “gravitas” montage was so hilarious that Sam Donelson even made it into a joke!

Isn't this exactly what Rush does pretty much every day? The drive by media mimicking each other? Rush pointed this out years ago when the media talking points were accidentally faxed to his office. Every reporter had the same meme as any other alphabet media talking head.
