That's why the media have reduced the analogy/metaphor “The pot calling the kettle black,” to “The pot calling the kettle.” So if a story is about a swindler calling another swindler a swindler, the CNN newscaster will say, “That’s like the pot calling the kettle, isn’t it.” Not difficult at all. | |
