This is not just "journalistic style". It is a specific journalistic style of many possible ones; and I find it annoying in its repetitiveness. It might be fun to read an article like this the first or second time; by the third one you start to discern the pattern, and starts to realize that all the stuffing with pointless details and the rambling exposition are always the same. A writer can entertain his/ her readers with insightful remarks, wittiness, or great descriptive passages- but very little if none of these are to be found here: these articles show no particular talent, or focus, they all follow a very obvious scheme and sound as if they were all written by the same dull person. Come on, journalism can be much better than this.

I don't like it either.

Yet, we not liking it won't change anything. In general, the public like this stile, so journalists will write this way.

You are better searching for media that fits your stile better.

Do you mean that I shouldn't express or voice my dislike for things I don't like?

I'm just saying that it's useless, and you'll gain more by actually changing your habits than trying to change society.

But if you think it's a hill worth taking, go ahead. You won't succeed, but if all you want is to try, you'll get to try.
