That was a Journalistical advance

Get the Journalistical mug.When a journalist writes an article showing off his or her writing skills, vocabulary and worldly knowledge rather than sticking to the job of reporting. This is usually the case in an interview where the opinions and insight of the subject are overshadowed by the journalist's uncontrollable need to show off. It is when the standard of unbiased journalism becomes commentary when it is not supposed to be. In other words, it's all about the writer's ego.
The best example ever of "journalistic masturbation" can be found in the cover story of the LA Weekly Nov. 30 - Dec. 6 issue/ Vol. 30/ No. 2 "Dennis Kucinich Has Five Minutes For You" by Dwayne Booth.

Get the Journalistic Terrorism mug.When you nail a fictional author who wrote with high fantasy tropes and gets celebrated but the one who gets shunned gets pissed on for writing something much harder in the same era. It's the thing that would invoke a flamewar. Kealan Patrick Burke and Christine Morgan had been the subject of the journalistic kapow, the more hardcore term is getting freight-trained.
Author Kealan Patrick Burke flies off the handle when he was delivered a journalistic kapow from an author who appeared on a defunct e-zine he also appeared on two years later. A known fanfiction.net writer of 100 fanfics celebrates him. While the author who gets urinated on wrote a true crime piece that played up like The Tell-Tale Heart with stronger language as it was introduced on AuthorsDen, ThoughtCafe and FictionPress a year later. "Why don't you ask Bram the Talking Wonder Dog about The Cabbie Homicide."
