Amnesty is not a news source.

It is providing news.

They are fundraising, here.

Their website has a donate button. This article doesn’t ask for donations, although it does advertise another Amnesty report.

What? They literally aren’t journalists and this literally isn’t journalism. It’s click bait to get people to click that donate button.

They may not be journalists, but this certainly is news.

“They campaign against abuses of human rights worldwide.”

The information shared seems to be high-quality and relevant to their cause. It certainly isn’t “10 bad things about Saudi Arabia, number 7 will shock you”.

Yeah it’s not serious news for serious people. It’s click bait. Not as transparent as your example perhaps, but not much different.
