I haven't seen mashups of commentators on the right repeating endlessly the exact same word in their talking points although I'm sure such a thing could be constructed.
The latest one that I heard was the day the memo is released no less than a dozen commentators used the word nothingburger to describe it. It's like they held an actual pre-game rehearsal.
They're commentators. There's nothing wrong with them having a point of view. There's nothing wrong with their point of view syncing with those they are sympatico with. There's not even really anything wrong with political operatives for politicians that they agree with giving them some suggestions about how they would like to see a story presented.
But- when the DNC comes to you and says, "Hey listen, we're going to go with 'This is a nothingburger'..." you're supposed to take that as guidance and use your own words to describe the memo as a nothingburger without actually all using the exact same word that was on the talking points memo that was handed to you.
It's just lazy.
Whatabout when George Stephanopoulos actually came up with the idea of handing out actual talking points to Democrats and sympathetic journalist which of course meet at that time pretty much all of them.
Whatabout that?
