daylight savings time is racist
Daylight Saving Time sheds light on lack of sleep’s disproportionate impact in communities of color
The process they follow usually involves starting with a compelling hook (a reason for the reader to read the story, which is designed to be specific to the audience of people that reads their publication) and then they fill the details in around it.
So the translation after desensationalizing it, you should have learned: Work on getting more and better quality sleep, also our society randomly changing the time makes this harder for you to accomplish.
Obviously if they wrote the story like that, it would read like an encyclopedia entry and would be too insanely boring to actually finish reading.
So they have to work in as many buzz words and culture war issues as possible to keep people from falling sleeping the middle of the story.
Remember that this is the same publication that tried to paint Donald Trump as a circus clown that had the power to destroy the entire country, and after stories like that, it takes quite a bit to get people's attention.
Reminder: There is a reason that people are attracted to main stream media outlets like CNN/Fox/MSNBC and choose to get their information from them instead of Wikipedia or an encyclopedia. That reason is that one is designed to be "exciting" and the other is just plain old boring information.
edit: And the plan worked, you at the very least, clicked and read some of it.
edit2: Also, as you get older and have more information, you will realize that a lot of people are borderline mentally handicapped for one reason or another, so writers are forced to write to the "lowest common intelligence level" so that it doesn't read like unreadable gibberish to them. So you are correct. From your perspective, the world is indeed getting stupider.
