Multiple local news stations say the same thing verbatim​

To provide some context for this - they all use a content service that sends an email each morning with crap that they can talk about.
They'll then pick-n-choose.

Radio does the same thing, at 4am their service will send various topics for them to talk about. A station will subscribe (pay for) various topics, such as rock, or top40, or country, whatever, and they'll have a fresh fax each morning with artist birthdays, who overdosed this week, what rapper got shot yesterday, whatever, that the DJs can talk about during their shows, while neither knowing nor caring fuck-all about the topics themselves.

Turns out, it's quite the mechanism for creating a popular narrative.

China will wait to take Taiwan, Iran will wait to attack Israel and Russia will wait to overrun Ukraine until USA in utter political/social/financial/immigration chaos.

We are using million dollar munitions to take out $10,000 drones. We use them faster than we can replace them. All our war stocks are down and we can’t recruit soldiers. Our Strategic Oil Reserve is about 1/3 full.

Which leads to the obvious question, why employ thousands of local talking heads if you're just paying them all to say the same thing ?
