What is a "hit piece"?
A hit piece is a type of news article or report that is intended to damage the reputation of a person, organization, or group. It often focuses on negative aspects, exaggerates or distorts facts, and may be written with a bias or agenda. The goal of a hit piece is usually to discredit or criticize the subject in a way that influences public opinion. Hit pieces are considered unethical in journalism because they typically lack objectivity and fairness, aiming to harm rather than inform.
