I used to drive for about 6 hours a day and I'd hear all of the conservative radio hosts hitting the exact same stories with the exact same buzz words. You hear it all the time, the same buzz words for both sides of an issue seem to come out at the same time. Where is the source for these phrases and buzz words?

I found it rather strange that in every news story on the radio here in Florida that mentioned Charlie Crist running for Senate, it would inject the phrase "Mark Rubio would be the conservative in the race". Why even add that subjective comment to what is supposed to be news? And on the other side, listening to NPR they mention what a great guy Crist is.

There has to be a way to track down these phrases to a single source. Three different news programs don't just start uttering the same phrase out of nowhere.
