... that's kind of silly. The methodology is indeed in the article. Why would you expect the internet to behave the same way as a newspaper? If you care about the methodology of the study, why wouldn't you just read the article anyway?
However, I do think you at least have a point about how these aggregate feeds work in relation to how information is presented/understood. The post here is a good example of the title being a woefully inadequate descriptor of it's content, despite being generally 'fine'. People would probably draw inaccurate conclusions upon only reading the title, but like, we're already pretty aware of this phenomenon by now, aren't we?
