Yeah, typically when I see "slam" or "destroy" in the title like this I know it's not going to meet the expectations of that word. These words are so overused

These words are so overused these days in headlines.
- xlm1717 6y agoThey only differ in magnitude from "criticize", but they're all the same thing. They seem overused because everyone is deconstructing everything these days.
- chiefalchemist 6y agoIn the context of expectations, journalism uses critique. It's plain, simple, and neutral, if not objective. On the other hand, slam and destroy are judgemental. They're inflammatory hyperbole that shamelessly intended to bias the reader. That is, these are not words journalists use as BF does. I'm not suggesting BF is wrong. We all know what their biz model is, as well as the tactics they use to achieve those end. What it is, it is. It's simply not jouralism.
