"The fact of the matter is..."
Ugh.
That one got started up by politicos and talking heads. I think it was invented to stall for time while they're thinking up a way to parse an answer to a question.
Now lots of morons use it, and it just needs to go away.
It came along about the same time as "there's not a shred of evidence that..." another parsing miracle phrase.
Yes, Hillary (or Bill) we know there isn't a shred of evidence. Well, maybe there is, but it's in the landfill by now.
