Are they showing ads on the page?
If so, then yes. Selling advertising is the ONLY remaining legitimate use for what passes as journalism in today's media.
Sex, Violence, and Religion sell, to the most titillating, gory, or enraging/enrapturing limit society will accept at the time. So, in the interest of ad impressions and eyeballs, whatever you can broadcast that generates publicity and traffic is the definition of the journalists doing their job.
Don't like it? Then get us a better society, or a better species.
