I have concerns that some source is pushing a narrative about the economy here. It has been leftists who have been most interested in downplaying the economy, promoting a recession.
If the local stations had more control of the news stories, I think they would have rejected this one.
Here are some stations that I picked out of this second sampling
Newswatch 12 kdrv.com ABC Oregon and California
Newswatch 16 wndp.com ABC Pennsylvania
WDHN ABC Dothan, Alabama
WFXP FOX Pennysylvania
KTTC NBC/CW Rochester, Minnesota
WWTV (9and10news.com) CBS Cadillac, Michigan
cbs3springfield.com CBS Massachussetts
wtol 11 CBS Toledo, Ohio
wkbt.com CBS Wisconsin
News 13 ABC North Carolina
News 13 ABC Colorado SpringsLast edited by mikewhitney; 05-31-2020, 12:14 AM.

Will you use this knowledge to become incrementally more skeptical of conspiracy theories?

I'm not sure what your point is?

Which I took to mean that you thought these clips were from this year and geared towards triggering a recession in the rapidly worsening COVID45 economy.

Language warning for anyone who's sensitive about that kind of thing.

Maybe there's some liberal media conglomerate that does the same thing, but I wouldn't know who it is...

I'm seeing some cases where maybe 20 to 40 separate newscasts are played simultaneously with people saying the same thing. Often these will be placed sequentially or in pairs to see and hear the matched reports more clearly. I have heard this also for Democrat house members who all use the same terminology to speak of Trump, or of other politicized issues.
The last one was a news report about that mailorder company named after a jungle. All the news reports were saying some of the same words but also continuing to just give free advertising to that company.
I'm also amazed at the ability to collect all these newscasts and position so many of these together in sync with each other.
I'm always still in trouble again

Your comment reveals more than you probably wanted.
