Meh no biggie. Might be wrong word choice for what is still a reasonably good point; the choice to publish about an extremely controversial paper that has not even been reviewed? It is, in fact, manipulative. It is stirring drama for the purpose of increasing readership.
When I Google “What is click bait?” I get this definition: “(on the internet) content whose main purpose is to attract attention and encourage visitors to click on a link to a particular web page.”
This article kinda does actually fit that definition. Not with manipulative wording in the title, but with choice of topic and (to parent’s point) highlighting an outlier and lacking representation for the general trends.
