Needless to say, going forward, these Things We Do Not Say are a stinging rebuke to grizzled veteran journalists. When going forward they will be on thin ice when relying on their proverbial, handy-dandy old clichés. Partisans on both sides believe the situation is fluid and the dynamics may be shifting as the War On Cliches sparks fevered debate and nervous hand-wringing. If history is our guide, this is no silver bullet. It may, in fact, raise more questions than answers. This hot-button issue is bound to be hotly contested until a new era of clichés 2.0 becomes a Game Changer that puts it to rest.
