The BBC has been going in this direction for a while. Note how most of the articles feature single-sentence paragraphs - turns out that's the easiest way to get people to stay involved. A lot of articles feature 6-7 images now too. The football(soccer) 'opinion pieces' are always about the top clubs and especially Man Utd, because that will get the most shares and readers. They're becoming as guilty as everyone else.
