Yes, at least if you're British.
wordnet gives a definition of the verb use as:
"to attack strongly"

If you need an example, check Tony Blair's comments about the media last week. Here, from the end of his speech:
"I've made this speech after much hesitation. I know it will be rubbished in certain quarters. But I also know this has needed to be said."

American English may use "(to) trash" in a similar way, for
"To subject to scathing criticism or abuse; attack verbally"
