This was already the most misused phrase in 2012 so yeah why not? |

Who says "speaking truth to power"? Full disclosure: I was on the east coast for the holidays and haven't listened to the Score in a good two weeks. |

Not an avid listener the past couple weeks, but that phrase is awful. Sounds like something a hackey preacher might try to make his catch-phrase. |

It has popped up in the last month or so with Bernstien. It was used several times in my hour of listening to he and Mcnight on Monday. It is the 2013 phrase because I expect it to be Dan's go to term of empowerment this year, much like he has pounded other industry speak words like "three technique". |

And Theo Epstein, and Emery/McCaskeys, the Obama administration, etc., etc. I believe I once characterized the White Sox attendance rant as speaking lies to the powerless. |
