stereotypical news article blog post

Just by looking at how the news article is laid out with all of the short paragraphs, it looks exactly like the popular article I used for my paper. The entire article consisted of tiny paragraphs of a sentence or two and this is actually addressed in the news article in the second short paragraph. Everything that is being addressed within this news article that is making fun of a general news article I saw within my popular article that I used for my second major paper. I did not realize that all articles written for a general or popular audience are all written the same. There is obviously a stereotype for all popular articles written for a popular audience and I feel like it degrades popular audiences, they make it seem like popular audiences are too stupid or incompetent to understand anything that isn't sugar coated and wrote out very precisely. While reading this article I have noticed many of the things that we have talked about in class. In one paragraph it says that it will provide the name of the journal that the research was published in but it won't bother to cite it because they don't want to bother with it, they don't want to link to the article, and that the copy right has expired by this time and there is no use. We learned that any information that is not yours must be cited so this baffles me to be truthful. Yet, in the next paragraph the author will provide a quote by someone from a university and the author will give them credit, there in citing that source. This is not very consistent and confuses me. Something else I noticed that I remember from the article I used for my paper is that they will use a bold subtitle to start another section about more research and other information, this happened three or four times in the article I used. This entire article is shocking to me, I never knew things like this existed.
