Boy, those Gawker folks are awfully good at journalism.

yellow journalism

The great-grandfather of clickbait, and one of propaganda’s cousins. Journalism that sacrifices everything a good article needs for sensationalism and sales.

It is horrifying how much yellow journalism is in the mainstream nowadays.

vending machine journalism

Information gathered from non-traditional reporting sources such as blogs, Facebook, or Twitter postings and presented as bona fide news to support an organization's biased opinions.

Arm Pit Journalism

A name used to replace a publication name when referring to a horrible piece of journalism. Arm Pit Journalism should contain a brainless stream of text and pictures as is typically present in popular media sources and be written as if the author were born in an armpit.

Golly me. Another brainless editorial out of Arm Pit Journalism, The Tacoma Tribune.
