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.

Urban Dictionary journalism

he act of using Urban Dictionary for fact checking the definition of words that were used before the existence of Urban Dictionary.
According to Urban Dictionary journalism, Kavanaugh is obviously lying about the definition of boof, which he and his friends used in the early 1980s, because I read the definition on a website that was created in 1999.

World Journalism Preparatory School 

A school that runs from grades 6-12.

A sad excuse for a school. Run by a stumpy, Jewish women who has no regard for what really happens inside the classroom. Mostly Greek teachers that boast their gold crosses and pronounce students name with emphases on the ''rrrrrr' or '' ssss''.

That aside, another flaw would include the nauseating e-portfolio system we are forced to use. There is no point and I hear now that report cards will no longer be in use.

Uniforms include vulgar khaki's and pasty white polos. They are un-flattering to even the most beautiful of all genders. Parents, this school teaches nothing...your kids education is at risk!
Man, she's an idiot...and look at her clothes!

Yeah, she goes to that World Journalism Preparatory School...

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
