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.

Guy1- Remember that self proclaimed journalist who accused gaming company of being ultra sexist and racist?
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!

frowny-face journalism

A subset of the more general human interest story, frowny-face journalism takes some boring, abstract, impersonal policy change or social problem, takes a big photo of some sad children whose playcentre is closing, an old couple who are being forced out of their subsidised housing or, in this case, a recently unemployed man losing his home(s). This way, readers automatically know what to think about the story - generally 'awwwww'.

"Did you read that article about the sad children whose playcentre was bulldozed down and replaced with a right-wing lobby group headquarters?"

"Was it Frowny-face journalism"

"it made me go awwww"

journamalism

An attempt to report the news marred with shoddy research, fact suppression, or a mere retyping of the press release/talking points.

David Gregory's recent acts of journamalism show the print and television media are nothing more than Bush administration parrots.
