But go to all those sources you mentioned and tell me how many times some “slammed” someone else

Okay ... Let's google it ... I'm open to be being bias checked; The Atlantic and NY Times.

Some "The Atlantic" examples:

• "Boston Fire Chief Slammed Over His Response to Marathon Bombing"
• "Northeast Slammed by Blizzard"
• "The Storm Heard Round the World: How Sandy Slammed Global Aviation"
• "This is What 400 Pounds of Sumo Wrestler Getting Body-Slammed Looks Like"
• "HuffPo's Sex Strategy Slammed"
• "Republicans Slammed for Recruiting 'Hicky' Actors for West Virginia Ad"
• "Everyone's Getting 'Slammed' This Week"

Some "NYTimes" examples:

• "A Window Into Chinese Government Has Now Slammed Shut"
• "Trump Slammed the W.H.O. Over Coronavirus. He’s Not Alone."
• "Regional Banks Slammed by Fear of a Broader Financial Crisis"
• "How Mink, Like Humans, Were Slammed by the Coronavirus"

What's your point exactly? These aren't (IMO) atrocious headlines; I suppose a few could be more informative for sure but also these are like ~1 per year.
