I should have said it's not fooling anyone with some sense. The majority of the news is very liberal. If Michelle kicked a child, they would paint it as she did the kid a favor. Of course, there would be an investigation and at the end of it, they would recommend not slapping her on the hand because she didn't intend to hurt the kid. Oh wait my mistake, that's hillary. Michelle is in that same boat though when it comes to the media. If she was caught in an affair, they would spin it that she fill on a penis by accident. 

On a more serious note, it's fairly common sense that a speech with that theme/wording is very generic. My parents raised me to respect others.....yadda...yadda. Michelle didn't do anything to spice it up either or make it more unique. 

No one is saying she did.  The fact that there are portions though that are VERBATIM what Michelle said is what the issue at hand is.  There are probably 3,000 ways to say "respect each other and value the opinions of those around you" and instead of picking any of the 2,999 other options she picked the one that was already done.

As to your point about the majority of the news being liberal I would disagree.  For every major news network that is pro-Clinton there is another that is pro-Republican (though not necessarily Trump).  Your local news might sway one way or another depending on where you are, but largely if you want to get an unbiased look at something you can if you try hard enough.

My point is that someone can't plagiarize something that is commonly used in speeches or in conversations. 

In the US, the vast majority of the media is liberal and most of them don't hide it. If you don't believe me, I'm fine with that.
