Hi, this is the well-known TV archive https://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/ but I
don't know how comprehensive it is.

FWIW, I use the online news story versions of CNN and Fox etc to do
analysis as a sort of "proxy." But it's not really the same thing and I
think Stu's observation about the repetition of a particular phrase is
interesting!

MediaCloud <https://mediacloud.org/> offers a way to search phrases in a
range of media across the world (for free).
