Think about this, in NY alone we have over a dozen “news” entities on TV; CNN, CNNFN, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, FOX News, FOX 5, CBS, ABC, NBC, WB, CBN, etc. Now take notice that they all report:

1. The same lead headline
2. The same “news” stories
3. In the same order
4. From the same sources
5. For the same amount of time
6. With the same slant/bias
7. With the same timing on the commercial breaks
