The problem is that many journalists these days get paid by article length/word count, so they inflate the shit out of it and hope whoever is in charge of proofreading doesn't cut too much out. If you compare articles written in newspapers/websites where they still have a regular staff on payroll vs. those that have more "guest authors" than anything, you'll immediately see what I mean. It's a shame really.
