When journalists simply repeat whatever politicians say, word for word, similar to a stenographer typing out a transcript word for word. This is similar to fake news. Stenography journalists repeat politicians' lies without any attempt at fact-checking, calling out the lies, analysis or critical thinking about what was said. Stenography journalism allows politicians to lie, and have their lies spread to a wide audience. The lies are consequently taken to be facts by many members of the public.

Media made with the express purpose of causing the emotion of scorn in the viewer. Scornography's main purpose is to flood the viewer with the most obnoxious and unintelligent people possible, ensuring that they fall far below the average viewer in likability. This way, viewers can unite in their hatred of the characters, and feel a brief burst of artificially inflated self-esteem. These shows are the public executions of our times, except instead of the death they so often deserve, the stars of the shows are showered with attention, fame and money.
"Jersey Shore," "The Real Housewives of ___," "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" are all examples of scornography.

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.
