That's pretty insane, it makes you wonder

How much more damage this is going to do to the public perception of the "news" media. They wonder why so many people are going to podcasts rather than listening to the news. It's because no one trusts the news anymore.

I've seen compilations people have made where they show multiple news agencies in different cities all reciting the exact same lines about whatever event is being talked about. Not just the same general idea, like "this was bad!," but the exact same verbatim message about the event.

It's rather Orwellian when you see it.
