Hit and run journalism

When the facts of the story you're reporting on don't fit your version of historiography.

Hit-and-run journalism

Reporting on a seemingly important story, then when the story turns out to be a dud, not issue any apology and simply move on.

Hit and run journalism

When you report on a story that doesn't pan out, and you don't issue an apology, simply keep on reporting on other stories that won't pan out either.

Did I just invent hit and run journalism?

grab capitalism by the balls

N.B: this expression is supposed to be used mainly by WASPs when talking to other WASPs, but this is not mandatory; non-WASPs can, but again this is not mandatory, use other perfectly correct English translations of the same Latin phrase, such a 'grab life by the horns', among others.

(as a pun variation on the Ford F-150 commercial line' grab life by the horns'), this is one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.

as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, IMHO as a history major, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern Western WASP capitalism, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, but i doubt it they would have used the exact same words.
