Zombie Journalism

Filler content/stories that relentlessly devour any new tidbit of information about a film or TV show regardless of whether any information was actually present, leading to a horde of similar stories about equally inane "details." Usually, these stories originate from Reddit fan-theories and end up being treated as news.

"Did you see that 500 word story about that 13 second Game of Thrones clip for the final season?"

"Yeah. They just mindlessly devoured that Reddit thread like a horde of zombies"

"Zombie journalism sucks!"
