Lemmy user TachyonTele SLAMS news outlets for their unwanted hyperbole!!!
This is BREAKING NEWS if I’ve ever seen it.
They will stop as soon as the word “based” is finished.
Months ago a headline popped up with ‘spanked’ instead. I’m a little disappointed it didn’t take off.
Stop giving them clicks.
“Audiences slam news outlets for hyperbolic headlines!”
Stop clicking on those articles, esspecially on platforms that they actually care about, like Facebook and Twitter.
Call me pretentious, but I genuinely forget about Facebook and that lots of people still care about it.
Slam! da duh duh, da duh duh, let the boys be boys.
If we could just let the boys be boys maybe this wine SLAM thing would just go away
If it’s not slam, it’s roast.
I think journalists like these words because they’re not provably false and therefore can’t get sued for misrepresenting what someone said
And if, heaven forbid, it’s not either of those, it is now apparently acceptable to refer to it as a “clap back.” In the newspaper of all places.
It’s just the current buzzword.
Hundreds if not thousands went before it and many more will follow.
Think of it as an in-built historic timestamp.
It has been a couple years tho
This donut is SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIN!!!
Don’t worry, soon they’ll catch on to “cooked”.
I personally want to stuff every journalist into the nearest paper shredder that continues to use the stupid word, “unprecedented”. Ha ha, the pun is dead, stop beating it so damn hard. :eyeroll:
