I know this may sound petty, but is anybody else [View all]

bothered when Ed says that "the right is making the case that" instead of "the right is trying to make the case that",

"he always says that the other guys are making the case that..."

To "make the case" means that they have proved their point.

He could say" making an argument" or something like that.

I know this is a small thing and somebody will use my thread to wax self-righteous about how they don't watch cable news or TV at all

it just bugs me
