churnalist

A reporter closely resembling journalist, writing articles which generally add nothing behind the headline. His or her object is usually to be simplistic, support a narrative, and/or generate clicks, therefore detailed analysis and critical reporting are abandoned for generalities. Individuals engaging in this behavior produce churnalism. They can produce 5 times the amount of articles as a traditional journalists.

A churnalist can always make a story out of speculation, rumours, and intrigue.
You need to shorten that article, you've reached your churnalistic limit.
You know if you are a churnalist you don't have to research your subjects, you can simply regurgitate the State Department news releases. Like so, "According to the State Department..."
I hear they are hiring churnalists to publish Trump and Russia connections. You should apply.

vicious innocence

The appearance of innocence despite being guilty of dilatory, seemingly innocuous, or passive actions to sabotage others.

That cashier just walked by me and asked that other woman for help. I'm not fooled by her vicious innocence.
Don't fall prey to vicious innocence. Your boss buys you a few trinkets, but delays providing you with training, even when you ask.
Our history teacher is loaded with vicious innocence. He calls Indian massacres, 'unfortunate'; slaves 'servants'; and uses 'allegedly' for any history that discredits his heroes.

dikeboy

One whose job it is to hold back the flood of unpleasant history which may bring judgement upon his people. This person often has his fingers planted firmly within the dike to avoid utter catastrophe.

You know Dylan R. said he wanted to start a race war, but the dikeboy media said he was mentally ill and didn't mention anything about racism.
When I asked your so-called teacher why John Steinbeck only wrote about white farmers in the 'Grapes of Wrath' and ignored the black , Mexican, and Japanese farmers, that dikeboy punted like a mofo.
You see the dykeboys never say why they are so angry? Nope, they don't want to talk about that.
Line up with all the rest of the dykeboys and deny everything!
Remember when I grabbed the microphone and 'reminded' the council they still collect money from people who were wrongly convicted? Dykeboys got nervous and wet!
