It’s been a while since we tallied up Noel Sheppard’s massive overuse of headline cliches at NewsBusters. Let’s see how he’s been doing the past couple of months, shall we?

The cliche bug is spreading at NewsBusters: the headline on a July 26 post by Matt Hadro reads, “CNN Smacks Down CNN’s Claim That Romney Is In Hot Water Overseas.“
UPDATE: Sheppard adds this late-breaking cliche:
