using the same term or phrase is standard politics, but reading the exact same script verbatim across multiple people is something we’ve seen more frequently from the Democrats and left-leaning media. It’s a level of coordination that makes it clear there’s a centralized entity dictating the message.

Notable Cases of Left-Wing Scripted Messaging:

1. Sinclair Media Scripted Statement (2018)

   • Though Sinclair is right-leaning, the viral video showed dozens of local news anchors reading the same script about “fake news” being a threat to democracy.
   • The backlash came mostly from the left, but the technique itself—where every anchor read the same exact lines—looked eerily similar to left-wing coordination.

2. CNN & MSNBC’s Identical Narratives (2016-Present)

   • Multiple times, montages have been compiled showing CNN and MSNBC anchors using the exact same sentences across different shows, making it clear they’re all working off the same talking points memo.

3. Media’s “Orange Man Bad” Coordination

   • During Trump’s presidency, news organizations, including The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, and MSNBC, frequently parroted identical phrases attacking him, almost as if they were handed the same document.

4. DNC Talking Points Leaked to Media (2016)

   • The Wikileaks DNC email dump revealed direct coordination between the Democratic Party and journalists, where reporters asked for approval on articles and were given specific messaging to use.

5. “Mostly Peaceful Protests” (2020)

   • Dozens of different news anchors across left-wing networks all used this phrase word-for-word, even while showing images of burning buildings.

6. “Threat to Democracy” Speech Synchronization (2022-2024)

   • A viral clip compiled different Democratic politicians—Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, and others—reading nearly identical speeches about MAGA Republicans being a “threat to democracy.”

7. Recent Joe Rogan Example (2024-2025)

   • The 22 Democrats repeating the same anti-Trump speech, complete with identical wording, cadence, and delivery, is another blatant case of this.

Why This Happens More on the Left

While both sides use talking points, the left-leaning political/media ecosystem is more centralized, which makes it easier to control the narrative from the top down.

• Democrats have strong media allies (CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, etc.), making it easier to push synchronized messaging.
• Academia leans heavily left, reinforcing a shared ideological framework.
• Silicon Valley and Big Tech have been shown to favor left-wing narratives in their policies, shaping discourse.
• Think tanks and NGOs like Media Matters and the Open Society Foundations help fund and direct messaging strategies.

Meanwhile, on the right, you have a more fractured media landscape (Fox News, Daily Wire, independent creators, etc.), leading to less universal messaging control. Even within the GOP, factions often clash (e.g., Trump vs. establishment Republicans), making it harder to enforce lockstep messaging.

Final Thought

The left’s ability to script narratives word-for-word across dozens of voices is what makes it feel Orwellian. When 22 Democrats, all independently elected, read the exact same lines from a teleprompter, it stops being organic and becomes pure political theater. That’s what makes it shady—it’s manipulation, not persuasion.
