Politics Talk. How do you explain the main stream media parroting the same talking point?

This isn't the first time that the Daily Caller has zeroed in on this type of activity from the main stream media but it's reached a personal critical mass.

I get on readers of this blog that all parrot the same talking points on certain issues and try to challenge them to defend their viewpoints.

The reason?

Because if everyone is thinking the same then no one is thinking.

What explains the behavior we're seeing in the above vid?  How could talking heads that are supposedly competing for views all have the same thoughts?
