Sunderland, ABC News head of policy, is upset about “those annoying clichés that infect our work”. You know what I’m talking about. We’ve all been guilty of it at one time or another. So I’m taking a stand. Or to be more accurate, I’m making a list. It’s a list of things I never want to see or hear again. They were bearable the first 7,648 times. Now it’s over.
