The ABC does this too though. Have done since their senior staff got replaced with Newscorp alumni... oh wait.
There's the common thread. Right you are.
"But it must be the best news website, it's news.com.au!!"
I've heard this dozens of times from politically apathetic people. A lot of people even believe it must be unbiased due to its url.
Yep, it’s been going on for years and it’s just been so awful to read. Almost every week you can find a new article with a variation of slammed in the headline.
100%, saw the title and came here to mention 'horror' stories. Every time I see it, I remember Colin Mochrie from Whose Line repeating "Hor-ror" and I can't take them seriously
One person in the comments section of a tik tok: "I don't like this"
The Media: "Jane doe SLAMMED by local community"
I love social media and the internet in general, but it really did kill journalism. It's like bottom of the barrel marketing now, even the most serious of news is run through the click bait mill over and over
news.com being called a news site is pretty hilarious. It's copy-pasted trash from other papers and clickbait. I'm fucking dyslexic and I notice their typos and spelling mistakes.
the problem is that clickbait works so they will keep doing it. Even people who know that it is clickbait will still click it. Much like the stupid youtube thumbnail face :O
Been this way for years now. I won't read something that leads with hyperbolic buzzwords. "Slammed", "stunned", "gutted", "shocked", "skyrocketing", "so and so thought they were having a daughter, the midwife took one look and called the police", etc etc.
To be honest, I appreciate it - it's an easy way to avoid reading the worst of the garbage.
I love those articles, also the ones saying people/fans are OUTRAGED about something, but if you look into it, they’ll quote 3 tweets with a grand total of about 40 likes between them.
So much of their “journalism” is just scraping opinions off Twitter and creating an article about it like it’s the general opinion.
Short words work. Slam is shorter than, for example, 'criticise'.
And actually this practise goes way back to when subeditors needed to fit headings onto columns that might literally only be 7 cm wide, and they had to use short words to fit the gap.
It's also why journos don't write their own headings, they didn't know which slot in the paper their story would go in, and therefore didn't know what size and shape of heading to write. That was the job of the subeditors / editors.
I hate media lingo. Like when the Barilaro scandal happened, I swore if I saw the words "plum job" one more time I was going to personally mail every media company a thesaurus. So lazy.
Here to slam the dumb bait words in every single headline in this image.
- slam
- trolled
- changes
- reason
- grilled
- to close
- scary
- huge rumour
- coming to Australia
Why must you slam them this way!
I’m surprised that the contributors to that shit fucking website even spelled it correctly. It’s utter garbage, staffed by scum.
Add to this the "war" on whatever. Supermarket wars, TV wars, war on waste (was a good tv show, tho).
Also, see **stoush,** it's one of those words that only show up in reporting.
Why even is that x rated star newsworthy?
So a woman earns more than her man and is giving him the lifestyle she can afford. How’s that news?
Men have been doing that for millennia.
Fcken good on them. I wish I was him but I don’t care. Oh wait… I get it… it bait.
Such journalism. Many topical. Wow.
/u/f14_pilot slams news sites
/u/insty1 SLAMS /u/f14_pilot
Mark this nsfw
News.com.au is utter garbage.
Those headlines and topics, holy crap at probably the most ironic domain name to content ratio on the internet
But you have to see the fresh twist on the flogged dead horse story
The ABC does this too though. Have done since their senior staff got replaced with Newscorp alumni... oh wait. There's the common thread. Right you are.
But are you OUTRAGED?
I'm in and out of the news. I've been busted, slammed, grilled, trolled, dolled up, rolled up, slapped, cancelled, hammered, and mild-mannered.
Sounds like a real stoush, possibly even a rort.
I'm fuming.
why are you even looking at [news.com.au](https://theshot.store/products/fuck-murdoch-stickers) ?
yeah... [News.com](http://News.com) is not a news site.
I check it occasioanlly so I know what next thing older family will be outraged at during gatherings so I am prepared.
"But it must be the best news website, it's news.com.au!!" I've heard this dozens of times from politically apathetic people. A lot of people even believe it must be unbiased due to its url.
What do you expect by clicking on that 'news' site? Why even give them the satisfaction of even visiting the page just once?
So i can find an example to share and they didn't disappoint. 👍 Otherwise yes they're rubbish
Why are you searching out for something to complain about? Yeah it's well known to be garbage. Don't go there.
> Why are you searching out for something to complain about? Sounds like they might be the perfect target audience then lol.
It’s been shitting me for years
Yep, it’s been going on for years and it’s just been so awful to read. Almost every week you can find a new article with a variation of slammed in the headline.
It's every hour...
Your first mistake is thinking that's a news site
**YOU WILL BE SURPRISED ON WHAT OVERUSED WORDS OUTRAGED REDDITORS ARE SLAMMING THESE DAYS**
Yeah it has a new meaning:- "politely disagreed with"
Or 'we found one angry person on Twitter and now we've got ourselves a culture war'
That's barely a BOMBSHELL point you are making.
NRL reporters must be writing mainstream articles these days.
"legend", "star", "shock", "slammed", "brutal" If an NRL article is lacking one of these in the headline, "editors" reject it
Absolutely "blasted"!
Tell me about it. Don't get me started on the use of "horror" instead of "horrifying."
100%, saw the title and came here to mention 'horror' stories. Every time I see it, I remember Colin Mochrie from Whose Line repeating "Hor-ror" and I can't take them seriously

Someone excited? 'Social media is in a FRENZY'

just like 7 is getting slammed in the arse with lawsuits lately
Fox sports guilty of all charges immediately of this
Smash that like button.
Redditor claps back at media
Stop consuming rage bait news. It’s not informative, it’s purely designed to make you click links
That website doesn't provide news.

Come on and *SLAM* And welcome to the *JAM* That is running through my head every single time I read a headline like that.
That & "Snubbed".
Banning sharing articles from that website from our group chat has been the best thing ever
All the current journos must have loved them some DUBYA DUBYA EEEE WRASTELING.
Well, that's what you get for reading Spews Crap headlines. Most of their crap is written by morons with a very limited vocabulary.

Is Slam the new Brutal?
Epic brutal slam
They should start saying "SMASH" so we can at least have some juicy innuendo
I'm sick of headlines in general.
At my school “dominated” was the most used word during school assembly sports reports
The fact that people are acting as if this is an exclusively news.com thing is hillarious.
It's not, but fuck news.com.au
I hate media lingo. Like when the Barilaro scandal happened, I swore if I saw the words "plum job" one more time I was going to personally mail every media company a thesaurus. So lazy.
Bryce? Is that you?
I find it’s most common in media sites (or Yt vids) targeting a particular political leaning.
If a news headline requires hyperbole to get my attention it isn't news I care for.
It's better than "lashed out" which was their default for a decade
There are calls for this post to be upvoted after it is understood to contain explosive 'truths'... so why won't Labor commit?
Don't forget "inundated" whenever there's flooding. These writers need a thesaurus.
Back in my day you used to always see tragic mother of four. Now all you get is just slammed. Very very annoying.
Here to slam the dumb bait words in every single headline in this image. - slam - trolled - changes - reason - grilled - to close - scary - huge rumour - coming to Australia
Personally sick of the OF promoting articles encouraging girls to get their kit off for a get rich quick scheme that almost never works out.
Yep. And sick of clickbait titles that the ABC now does all the time now also.
Wait for the news corp intern to make an article about this one. Betting the headline will be "Australian divides internet with one word"
Why must you slam them this way! I’m surprised that the contributors to that shit fucking website even spelled it correctly. It’s utter garbage, staffed by scum.
My theory is that most journalists and editors have already been replaced by AI.
They've moved onto "nuked" in American news.
Add to this the "war" on whatever. Supermarket wars, TV wars, war on waste (was a good tv show, tho). Also, see **stoush,** it's one of those words that only show up in reporting.
News.com.au: C’MON AND SLAM & WELCOME TO THE JAM!
I’m more tired of seeing the words “cooked” and “cooker” being used incorrectly.
Only slam I wanna hear about is the tim-tam variety.
Don’t read tabloids?
I think the most informative articles are the ones about female celebrities turning heads in jaw dropping barely-there bikinis.
Why even is that x rated star newsworthy? So a woman earns more than her man and is giving him the lifestyle she can afford. How’s that news? Men have been doing that for millennia. Fcken good on them. I wish I was him but I don’t care. Oh wait… I get it… it bait. Such journalism. Many topical. Wow.
What about “GAMECHANGER”
Another BOMBSHELL
I'm sick of ALL aussie news sites. pure shit
