Your Definition
The act of dismissing or undermining valid criticism of a piece of media by accusing the critic of being dishonest, biased, or acting in bad faith, often paired with an exaggerated or uncritical defense of the media. Frequently accompanied by exaggerated claims that critics are “censoring” or that their critique poses a threat to discourse, this behavior is often used to justify retaliatory actions against critics.
