Yeah, but what REALLY irritates me is when someone regurgitates verbatim what they hear on cable news or from other posters!

it's the insult of the non thinking parrot and an actual quote would or could sometimes at least be honest if not still somewhat undiscerning and lacking skepticism i sometimes also wonder what the commentators would say if not paid to parrot back the script

We live in a "cut & paste" society that has learned to replace truth with spin.

Incapable of original thought, better known as "herd mentality".

So they should paraphrase? People have their news sources. That's hardly a crime.
