I think it’s common now....these people watch MSNBC and download the key-notes piece, and walk around all day reciting what so-and-so said. I started to notice that back in 2012.
I don’t recall when I noticed it but I first noticed back when I use to watch the alphabet channels and different cable news channel, Sunday morning news shows,read different papers and magazines, All in the name of trying to decipher what was going on. I started to notice that they were all spewing the same trash. So I quit. I’m very cynical and have been for years but one thing I’ve noticed is that progressives, liberals ,democrats and such lie more than conservatives and republicans. The former goes by the “ends justify the means” mantra.
