1. Angry Echo Chamber (tends to be GOP)
Joe of Morning Joe has already beenidentified as a GOP ally and/or conspirator and he continues to follow this same pattern of being an obvious "conservative" plant in a liberal media station (as he pretends to be a liberal). He continues to do this on a daily basis as of September 18, 2014. The Daily Show caught one of them around a major issue (Hillary Clinton) and the interesting thing is that while the whole 24 hour media feels like this is going on forever (we basically have an elections based economy, lol!) it's the GOP "conservatives" who are getting outright angry about it...
The media isn't all "echo chamber" as outline in the previous posts and the emergence of the new echo chamber above. These echo chambers that encompass the whole media tend to constellate around particular issues by a well funded dis-information campaign or in some unique situations as an emergency. Otherwise the media is left free to pursue it's style.

3. Manufacturing News (Jon Stewart's take on a type of echo chamber - again, all of the media does this)
Because of a 24 hr news cycle one of the problems is that conflict MUST be manufactured to keep viewers...

4. Often an anchor is expressing scripted views as their own when they are not reading them straight from the teleprompter (make no mistake about this... news shows are heavily scripted down to the minute!)
All the news is scripted and the anchors are often required JUST to read what they are told to...
