Bored Journalist Syndrome

Virus affecting 99% of Beltway reporters

With the attention span of a mentally addled fruit fly, political reporters like Ken fucking Vogel and Sally fucking Buzbee get tired of covering the same things every day. When Vivek Rama-smarmy started running they screamed "he's the new Jesus!" when in actuality he was and is a lead balloon—made famous by bored, agitated journalists. When tasked with covering Mueller Report during Tangerine Jesus' 4-year reign of terror, reporters got anxious and fidgety which is when Bored Journalist Syndrome was born.

Gaslight Journalism

Gaslight journalism is when a journalist write inflammatory article or review bomb any personality/company by falsely accusing them of discrimination or try to get dirt on them by finding something negative in their past and run their article repeatedly to making the victim believe they are really guilty. They do this force the person/company to hire people who only believe in point of view of gaslight journalist or sometime hire the service of journalist itself. They can even manipulate them toward funding particular organisation or even political party.

Guy2- Yeah! what happened?
Guy1- Today he/she asked that company to hire her/him as "Consultant and expert of these issue"
Guy2- lol, thats gaslight journalism. Those companies ain't that stupid!
