The use of unique language plays an important role in the media, especially for journalistic businesses such as newspapers. As a strategy to develop a journalistic business, many media are trying hard to attract readers' attention, one of which is the use of dysphemism. This research aims to determine the types of dysphemism contained in three news broadcasting channels via YouTube, namely, CNN, CBS Chicago, and KTSM 9 News regarding the case of ''Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly attacking and molesting Cassie)''. This research uses qualitative methods using data obtained from the latest news broadcasts on YouTube regarding the P. Diddy case.
