Stand outside the editors window blasting the OST to space jam (the first one of course) everytime they publish such an article.
It is a symptom, not a cause.
They use it, because it works on people.
Lemmy user TachyonTele SLAMS news outlets for their unwanted hyperbole!!!
SquirtleHermit WRECKS unwanted hyperbole. Leaves Lemmy user SPEECHLESS!
SCIENTISTS CAN’T EXPLAIN BrundleFly2077’s hyperbolic discourse
This is BREAKING NEWS if I’ve ever seen it.
They will stop as soon as the word “based” is finished.
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.
Months ago a headline popped up with ‘spanked’ instead. I’m a little disappointed it didn’t take off.
Apparently spanking took off for Fox News
Stop giving them clicks.
“Audiences slam news outlets for hyperbolic headlines!”
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.
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
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
Don’t worry, soon they’ll catch on to “cooked”.
This donut is SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIN!!!
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:
