    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.

      Nice malicious compliance bud…

      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
