    Is there really no other word apart from SLAM that those “journalists” (or perhaps AI bots) are taught to use? Just one other goddamned word? I’m so tired of everyone and their mother slamming everyone else all the time…

      It’s a great word! It basically means “this article is poorly written and not worth your time”

    Fair enough, but I automatically wince whenever I see “X Nobel Prize winning-Ys endorse/reject Z”, because as often as not, it’s nonsense…

      They didn’t endorse or reject his agenda. They slammed it. Presumably into a table or something.
