CNN BREAKING NEWS: 'Biden to Eviscerate Trump Today in Iowa Speech' (VIDEO)
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-new-day-breaking-news-chyron-biden-to-eviscerate-trump-today-in-iowa-speech/CNNs New Day previewed an advance copy of a stump speech that Joe Biden plans to give during a campaign visit today in Iowa later on Tuesday, and according to the on-screen chyron, the former Vice President will eviscerate President Donald Trump.
While eviscerate is a common term used for hyperbolic headlines, according to Dicitonary.com this word is defined to move entrails from; disembowel. Lets just say that if Biden truly plans to disembowel President Trump during his speech, the Secret Service should be alerted.
Biden is the current leader among two dozen Democratic candidate hopefuls and will be campaigning in Iowa on the very same day in which President Trump will also be holding a campaign rally. Biden has set himself apart from the other presidential hopefuls by exclusively going after Trump instead of his fellow Democrats. Trump appears to have returned the favor by focusing on Biden himself, so the overall segment given the advance copy of Bidens speech is certainly germane.
But a news program using such a hyperbolic headline for an ostensible straight news conversation? Well, thats the sort of stuff that a fledgling blog (like Mediaite.com, for example) typically does.

OP
The article says it's a common term for "hyperbolic headlines." They were surprised CNN used it.

Biden skipped the 5-minute speeches in Iowa to attend his granddaughter's college graduation, but will deliver a longer set of remarks now.
I'm sure his speech in Iowa will get prime-time coverage. And he has an opportunity to say some choice words about his real rival, Donald J. Trump.
Good on him!

I didn't think I needed to quote the entire sentence to point out how ridiculous it was.

(7,277 posts)7. And Biden and Trump are speaking at the same time: 7.30 ET
If youre Biden, this split-screen day in Iowa is an absolute gift. It makes it seem like the general election is already here.

when he announced his candidacy. I hope he makes Trump cry again.
