OK, this is kind of funny and obvious of course but definitive proof of scripted news. I believe this is no laughing matter. If they do it for gas prices what stops them from doing it for any other subject. One example comes to mind, The collapse of Building 7 as reported by the BBC. In your opinions, what are the most blatant examples of scripted news and what are you thoughts on the subject?

"That's kinda scary."

"What a coincidence!"


What the hell!? Does the same guy/gal write the same story for 100's of anchors across the country?

I just spit up my coffee.

Gas is a good one. $5 by 4th of July after the sequester I would imagine. My favorite is flu season and the vaccine push/marketing. All the MSM's run about the same story at the same time - wish there was a compilation video.

Nonetheless, I like this one, you could call it "Revenge for Participating in Scripted News"

I'd love to see that vid but it didn't embed right. Just in case you didn't know, you have to cut and paste everything after the equal sign in the youtube URL.

There is no such thing as News on Television anymore , it should be called...

It's clearly a wire story that they are just cold reading. However, I am wondering if local affiliates get mandatory directives from the networks to run certain stories. It would certainly support a particular narrative if every market in the country is hearing the same message.

Oh yeah! The vaccine propaganda is ridiculous. Considering most media are owned by only a handful of companies who own many different other companies, it wouldn't surprise me at all if certain big pharmas have huge stakes in CNN, MSNBC, CBC only to name a few.

Like a wire story saying Dorner held up in a stand off against the police, then he set fire to the cabin and took his own life? When we have recordings that tell a different story. I have a hard time listening to the news what ever the subject. It's a shame they can't be trusted anymore.

Wire story or not, that's just interesting the level of parroting there - verbatim!

I didn't spit out my coffee but my jaw is hanging lower for sure.

Nice piece - S+F

So news readers should be doing it impromptu?

Of course they have a script, they can't just make it up s they go. Someone writes it.

But because they read from an auto cue or something, this means that 911 was a hoax and dorner was santa clause.

I get it.

I thought you might like that. Not so nefarious central scripting in Conan's case.

Then there is this
