Article is a bit misleading, and fairly light on facts. Strikes me as Time trying to "out" a competitor. They're basically saying examiner.com is the Demand Media of online newspapers. This sounds like a fair assessment, but there's no scandal here. Just two divergent business models. Side note: one thing in this article I find completely false is the statement that examiner.com's articles are "neither advancing the story nor bringing any insight." Examiner.com has a flavor, to be sure. I don't like it, and I generally avoid their articles, but calling them vanilla is incorrect.
