I could understand if you thought it was just the result of a small community of journalists rubbing off on each other, but sheer coincidence? That's absurd.

That's incredibly naive.

Do you feel the same way about "weird"? Did that just spontaneously appear out of thin air?

How many times before this month do you think (political advisor) Mark McKinnon used the word joy before this month? Somehow I doubt he frequented #livelaughlove Instagram.

At least be aware of the fact that the national media often colludes with the parties to form narratives and frame the debate. Words like "joy"or "hope" don't just spawn out of the aether, and consistency of word use is tremendously powerful, just look at Trump's nicknames of his opponents.

I'm sure news outlets colluded on "joy" the way gas stations on the same corner collude on $3.25/gallon.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

They sure are using the word joy a lot talking about the Olympics heading in to this closing ceremony. I think the libtard cabal media has infiltrated the IOC
