Interesting rant. I suppose that's one of the many reasons I dislike modern journalism (this New Journalism subjective style of writing ) and I appreciate you putting it into perspective.
For some reason the famous article "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" came to mind: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a638/frank-sinatra-has-a-cold-gay-talese/ https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a638/frank-sinatra-has...
But, a quick read through indicates that the author doesn't reference himself until 10 paragraphs down.

It’s easy to get caught up in the advanced (or artistic) stuff before you mastered the basics.
