I don’t think the parent is arguing for a blockchain one journalism, just that outlets claiming to be “news” should own their mistakes if they want to retain credibility.

I think GGP is conflating "we commissioned an article from an established journalist" with the article being "news". Adtorials, or whatever they're called, have been quite the thing lately and I don't see how this is any different, except inverted.

You’re right, it’s not a news agency, however it is masquerading as one to try and increase their legitimacy. It’s reasonable to criticise their behaviour.
