Really. It feels the writer decided an overall point that we wants to portray, and then uses words to justify it. This is not journalism, this reads more like shilling.

This is actually a great approach to evaluating articles like this. Remember, writing stories is a job too - shitty deadlines, writers block, pressure to come up with something, having to pitch your boss on why your idea is a good one.

You suddenly realize that nobody is reporting the news to educate people. They are doing it to: 1) get a paycheck, 2) sell add space, 3) get more clicks, etc.

Not saying all reporting is false. It’s just good to keep in mind what the incentives are.
