I was thinking about how I haven't seen that term used in gaming journalism for quite some time.

in gaming journalism

Wow, you don't read much news I'm guessing. Any and all news publications love to use it as a 'catch-all' term for, "he showed them what for!"

It's a bogus word describing action that the news can't otherwise report, because calling it 'verbal slaughter' triggers people.

If modern journalism had any integrity left, they'd call Trump what he is: a wannabe Hitlerian dictator.

Any publication that tries to curb that, is likely in bed with the money piles the network was given by the accused.

There's not a single goddamn person on the planet that doesn't have some sort of bias, that's journalism 101.
