The MSM Talking Head & Pundit Glossary
The truth is = I'm blowing smoke up your wazoo.
Quote me on this = if enough of you repeat what I say it will be true by the end of the day.
Let me be perfectly clear = I'm going to stuff your ears with rhetoric until they ring with the clear sound of a church bell and then trust that nobody will want to be the first one to say, Huh?
I'm laying it on the line = I'm betting everything but my paycheck that you don't know I'm not risking anything I haven't already lost (i.e/ integrity, reputation, respect)
Evidence suggests = the fix is in--our think tanks have sponsored the research that has created the evidence we suggested to them we needed.
Everybody knows = anyone within earshot of our orchestra of a thousand and one bull horns in the echo chamber knows what we tell them to know--and if they deny it everybody will then know they are insane--be a ditto head or be a head case.
Anybody got any suggestions for entries in the MSM Glossing Glossary?
1 tell me a story:
How about "Be that as it may"? I have always hated that because it just basically says, "You're right but it doesn't matter because I'm better than you anyway."
BLAH...me hate bureaucracy...
