churnalism 

Term coined by author Nick Davies to describe poor practices of modern day journalists who "churn" or recycle news stories off the wire or internet without appropriate critical investigation.
Where once journalists were seen travelling out and about in the search for facts, a large majority are now, literally, chained to their desks waiting for the next major scoop; eager to be the first to report on the topic and thus draw traffic to their news sites... this is churnalism.

churnalist

A reporter closely resembling journalist, writing articles which generally add nothing behind the headline. His or her object is usually to be simplistic, support a narrative, and/or generate clicks, therefore detailed analysis and critical reporting are abandoned for generalities. Individuals engaging in this behavior produce churnalism. They can produce 5 times the amount of articles as a traditional journalists.
A churnalist can always make a story out of speculation, rumours, and intrigue.
You need to shorten that article, you've reached your churnalistic limit.
You know if you are a churnalist you don't have to research your subjects, you can simply regurgitate the State Department news releases. Like so, "According to the State Department..."
I hear they are hiring churnalists to publish Trump and Russia connections. You should apply.

Churnabogging

The formula is then gathered in a condom or applied to a sex aid before being used for masturbation or intercourse. The act of churnabogging is intended to be the ultimate act of intimacy, sharing everything with your fellow churnabogee/s.

churnk de schplur 

Term used to describe any restaurant item which is meant to be fancy or exclusive (presumably for the purpose of driving up menu prices), but it only comes off as unnecessarily hoity toity.

Any normal menu items would be chicken breast, carrots, tomato, sour cream, lettuce, etc. While items like togarashi tempura, nduja ricotta, slow cooked sunchoke, house mascarpone, chow chow, etc. would be considered churnk de schplur.
Frisee? Arugula? Brodetto? Geez, there's no shortage of churnk de schplur on this menu.
