Flak
It is the negative response to journalism and related stories on a controversial topic. Flak can include boycotts, bombing, threats, censorship, destruction of a career and all sorts of negative reactions. The media sometimes filters out articles to prevent flak
The reporter was not afraid of getting Flak for her article called Rape Woman Matter. It was originally written for mass media but ended up being dictated on a youtube.com video because it would not be printed or aired in the mass media because it was too controversial and would trigger a lot of negative responses by people in the rape culture.
Get the Flak mug.
