gotcha journalism

1. Scornful, guileful, and otherwise inappropriate techniques used by top modern journihilists such as Katie "Jumbotron colonoscopy" Couric, Dan "Bushgate" Rather, and Perez Hilton to create "news stories" that will infotain their audiences and chip away at national decency.

Techniques include hiding out in the bushes of rape victims to "scoop" their competitors, revealing allied war plans on national television, and denouncing anything that does not involve fostering national ignominy or deviance.

Note: "News stories" is in quotes because while journihilists are taught things such as the "I believe in journalism" creed as freshman, they quickly turn on the principles of objectivity and fairness, lest they be marginalized by their peers.

2. A way to shield the midstream media's preferred political candidates from criticism by calling opponents "racist" (see 'Journolist') or deriding ordinary citizens (see 'Anderson Pooper').

1. Journalist: "Can your football team win the SEC again?"

Tim Tebow: "Uh, maybe."

Press pool: "Rabble rabble rabble."

Journalist: "Tim Tebow, are you a virgin?"

Tim Tebow: "Yes, I am."

Press pool: (Awkward silence)

Journalist: "Gotcha."

2. KOMU: "Take off that flag pin if you want to report here."

Intern: "But they just destroyed the twin towers and flew a plane into the Pentagon."

KOMU: "Gotcha journalism. We gotta keep our image."

sloppy journalism

To furiously ejaculate all over your notes for class and still hand it in. Spunk and all.

Man my Professor was being such a herb about how the format had to be. Instead I gave him some sloppy journalism. See how he likes that.

The worst possible thing to do when you're reading a book. opposition, repetition, and metaphor. you don't know how much to write, and when you write as much as you can, it's not enough.

on a scale of 0-4, the highest anyone has gotten is a 2.

1: What are you doing?
2: Mahon's journals....
1: Have fun with that!
2: Shut. Up.

Wall Street Journal

A very unreliable source to get your news from. Calling people anti-Semitic, because of a joke they made. Even though one of their writers, hypofritz, also made anti-Semitic jokes.

Wall Street Journal is back at it again with fake news
