Welcome to the age of struggling news organizations. All of them are doing this online to "get the clicks that pay the bills" because less people click on other stories unless they are hot button issues.
A typical newsite will get the most clicks from the following 3 stories, sports, hot button and celebrity gossip.
The Associated Press even hired more people to cover entertainment due to this demand. In an ideal world we would all read the poignant and issue driven stories but on the internet, we tend not to. Follow the money.
