I guess what I’m really asking is, it’s a bad headline from a small publisher (it’s surely happened many many times for decades), can’t we leave it at that without the dramatization?
If this were an isolated example, sure… But go to all those sources you mentioned and tell me how many times some “slammed” someone else…

Okay … Let’s google it … I’m open to be being bias checked; The Atlantic and NY Times.
Some “The Atlantic” examples:
“Boston Fire Chief Slammed Over His Response to Marathon Bombing”
“Northeast Slammed by Blizzard”
“The Storm Heard Round the World: How Sandy Slammed Global Aviation”
“This is What 400 Pounds of Sumo Wrestler Getting Body-Slammed Looks Like”
“HuffPo’s Sex Strategy Slammed”
“Republicans Slammed for Recruiting ‘Hicky’ Actors for West Virginia Ad”
“Everyone’s Getting ‘Slammed’ This Week”
Some “NYTimes” examples:
“A Window Into Chinese Government Has Now Slammed Shut”
“Trump Slammed the W.H.O. Over Coronavirus. He’s Not Alone.”
“Regional Banks Slammed by Fear of a Broader Financial Crisis”
“How Mink, Like Humans, Were Slammed by the Coronavirus”
What’s your point exactly? These aren’t (IMO) atrocious headlines; I suppose a few could be more informative for sure but also these are like ~1 per year.
You don’t have to agree with me but #1 pretending my entire point was based on this one bad headline was miscengenous at best… #2 again taking the comment literally simply to discard it = miscengenous
Not really into trying to debate a bad faith partner here

Nice malicious compliance bud…

It wasn’t bad faith, but I’m blocking you for being a waste of my time.
Oh no!!!.. Anyway
