The the first points are very much on point for me. I don’t get why sources aren’t referenced. Is it because they are afraid the reader will leave the news site? An attempt at sandboxing the user?

The second point, particularly US writing/journalism seems to really have a very different writing culture than the European. It seems to want to be a story with a beginning a history etc before getting to the meat of the article. It often feels like the writer is paid by the word rather than interested to getting the point across. European journalism ties to get the hook in early, and the expand on it and draw you into the article more upfront with the meat of it.
