The spoken word - not just errors, also biases

When we deal with usage of words, it tends to be of written words, But there are spoken words too on news television which also are grammatically incorrect or are misused, sometimes not conveying much.

Madhu Trehan, who does a weekly analysis of television news in her weekly offering Clothesline on www.newslaundry.com finds that choice of words convey biases.

Watch this.

But Trehan, does one put them to dry before or after wringing them dry?
