Thanks to Martin Tillier for this.... Reading Between The Lies The first phrase that will appear in your mind will be a cliche, so will the second, maybe even the third, if you cannot muster an original turn of phrase by the time of the fourth thought on the subject, if all the rhetoric could easily be from anyone else, from any paper or book, that is the point at which you may realise how few of your words are completely your own. Media seeks to produce the cliche effect because it helps them to sell their wares if they can get the bulk of their readership/viewers to say things the exact same way theyve read/heard them, which is where we get all those cliche terms from. This is why nearly all liberals, leftists, and conservatives - of their respective mainstreams - sound exactly the same, its also another way in which the political parties and movements maintain loyalty among their memberships and admirers - because they can all so readily and easily agree with each other. Its interesting that so few of them work out where they all got their stock phrases and their ideological narrative from in the first place. Its also evident that there is no original thought required, in fact it would be dangerous to the stability of media positioning and the parties themselves, their very existence might be threatened if more people realised that they are just being used as mouthpieces for political interests, the incipient details of which they are necessarily entirely unaware.
