What is a good way to say "political bashing" in such a way that it can be used in a research paper?

for context, I am writing a research paper on a TV show and how they are "extreme" and one reason is that their episodes contain "unashamed political bashing" but "bashing" is rather slang-ish, so I need a way to say this in a way that i can put it in my paper


Thanks in advance!
