I hear it a lot. Sometimes too much. What would be another alternative to this word?

I think they say it so much because it's sort of a "buzzworrd" that is, it's cool for pundits to be saying this day in time. Who knows, tomorrow they might pick a new favorite!

Oh. I hadn't realized they liked 'significant.'
But Republicans act like they deserve a prize for knowing the words 'rhetoric' and 'propaganda.'

Pundits became bored with "important". How about: meaningful, compelling, convincing, consequential, or noteworthy?

they like it because they think that they are significant themselves but we know otherwise.
