Character assassination is a form of bullying because it is a deliberate attempt to destroy someone's credibility and reputation. Character assassination involves triangulation rather than direct communication, where gossip, misuse of power and authority, manipulation of the truth, deceit, groupthink, double-speak, spreading of rumors, unhealthy egotism, and narcissism are used to defame and cast doubt on someone's morals and integrity.
