That's a reasonable presumption - Bloomberg makes its money selling access to reliable information, the people buying their services are not reading Bloomberg for entertainment but in order to make financial decisions. The editors know where their paycheck comes from and, unlike most other news sources, have a strong incentive to avoid speculative clickbait.

Speculative clickbait is not the same as market-moving stories, and this isn't an article about Bloomberg paying reporters for clickbait. Market-moving stories are the ones valued by traders in making decisions, almost tautologically since trader decisions are the market. I don't see why the editors would have different incentives than the reporters.
