I don't think they're sensationalist, they just don't sugarcoat the industry bullshit. And believe it or not, they need to make money from this, it doesn't pay itself. It's like saying newspapers should be free, or else informing the people isn't their primary concern.
"A farmer wants the money. Giving the good away for free would be great if they just wanted to feed people, but that's not their primary concern." Can even play that game for nurses etc
To the contrary, they massively inflate whatever they can find that will gather clicks.
Examples?
