publications that charge subscriptions have to make money and they have to sensationalize the story so it sells magazines, newspapers, etc.

To a degree. Subscription costs normally don't cover much more than what it costs to produce the product. Ad sales are the money maker. I wouldn't go so far as to paint SI as one of these sensational publications, but if Thayer is what everyone says he is, there was a terrible call in judgement on hiring him and then allowing this story to run.
