It was interesting. What's a hatchet job? I don't think I've heard that
expression before.

More or less, it's character assassination (not that I have any reason
to doubt the veracity of the report).

OED (Apple edition):

hatchet job
noun informal
a fierce written attack on someone or their work:
she does hatchet jobs, not reviews.

character assassination
noun [mass noun]
the malicious and unjustified harming of a person's good reputation:
all too often they discredit themselves by engaging in character
assassination.
