At the End of the Day

This day is done.  I feel like all I can say is, "At the end of the day you're another day older." (Lyrics from Les Misérables.)  So true, yet kind of sad.

The truth is, I had in mind the common phrase heard from commentators and guests in the media: "At the end of the day," meaning (in my estimation) "I conclude that, after all is said and done, this is what it boils down to ..."  

It’s trite; (Google defines as "overused and consequently of little import; lacking originality or freshness; … stale, timeworn, unimaginative, unoriginal, dull …")  But until I create a better phrase, I have no right to criticize.  In the end, the media will be what it is … regardless.
