Not that I dont agree, but every network besides Fox was parroting the exact phrasing and words to describe the Iraq war. They all get their marching orders, and spread the propaganda.
Sure, the right media gets its talking points, and latches on, and repeats it over and over to give the points some illusion of credibility. If you cant recognize the left doing the same thing, I dont know what to tell you.

I won't forget the "gravitas" left wing talking point for the 2000 election. Every left wing news person was asking if Bush has "gravitas" pretty much over night.
Rush Limbaugh made a cute song of it 'feliz gravitas' splicing in all news people/pundits using the term.
