This is my main issue with this type of journalism as well. The one author of the paper comes off as flippantly myopic and that's partially due to the way the article itself is written. If dude doesn't have a really informed view of the underlying causes of the data being observed, don't just throw some dumb quote he pulled out of his ass into the article lol.

It's increasingly difficult to find articles that pose deeply thought out questions and analyses when every writer is pressured to produce something that satisfied their editors' want for a story with a quick answer that doesn't rock the boat or upset shareholders.

Could be worse. Could be an Elsevier site (Lancet, Cell, ScienceDirect, etc.).
