It's pretty absurd to shift the blame to advertising.
This wasn't the age of clickbait and adtech, this was over 20 years ago. 24 hour news channels like Fox News and MSNBC were in their infancy. Isn't there some responsibility to be had to uphold journalistic integrity?
If anything, this article shows the danger of pop science and journalists writing authoritatively about things they don't understand well.
