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.
