It seems like part of the point of the article is that amplification is structural, and journalism is amplification. The person doing the amplification can be a journalist who is duped into it, but they might also write a solid story that’s entirely true and be simply ignorant of some of the consequences of what they’ve done.
These consequences are not really under your control since people can easily focus on one part of an article, taking it out of context and adding their own commentary.
