This is a bit of a tangent, I know but fuck does this irk me…
ballistic
I don’t think you know what this word means. You use words like these in every fucking news header now, and not one of them was warranted.
Fuck your clickbait titles, can all of you journalists PLEASE become real journalists again and start covering actual news that you present to us with actual real headlines instead of this made up clickbait slop?
My point is that everything is now “going ballistic!”, “slammed!”, “ripped!” where in reality there may have been an exasperated sigh.
My point is that journalists need to stop over sensationalizing literally every news article they write, it is super annoying and makes me want to stop reading the news altogether
It’s how “slam” can mean “to say something negative” and yet everyone complains about it too. I don’t have a strong opinion on how valid complaints on either use are, but I see them as comparable.
While I agree with everything you say, “journalists” know what they’re doing and they realize that making bad titles just causes people to speak about their articles more.
I have very little respect for the “profession” at this point.

Not sure if it’s a colloquialism but “going ballistic” where I live means being really angry.
I know the meaning

That is for sure what it means in America.

I’m sure it’s the editors and higher ups doing most of this shit, but yeah.
I want journalism how it was done two - three decades ago
What do you mean I heard someone was SLAMMED for this
