I hate this trend of saying “SLAMMED”, or “HOUNDED”, or “ATTACKED” etc in news articles where the stories are just “a couple of people with a dozen followers between them posted slightly negative tweets about topic xyz”.
My parents were bitching about how Adele was “HAMMERED” online because she said “I am proud to be a woman” or something. Turns out it was just two complete nobodies tweeting about how that’s trans exclusionary or something with 1 heart each.
I’m looking forward to the day when someone legitimately goes ham on someone else, profanity, yelling, the whole 9 yards, and the articles are all like, “so-and-so somewhat disagrees on such-and-such”.

Buzzibee absolutely DISMANTLING article headlines! More above!
It’s just so they can still write an article even though nothing really happened
