Apparently some news networks think that this is a more 'cinematic' way of taking an image.
That's like saying 24fps is a cinematic framerate, when in reality you're just too damn lazy to record more frames because it takes more work.

No, the reason 24 fps is "cinematic" is because most film cameras shoot in 24 fps. A camera that can do 60fps while retaining the same picture quality is gonna be much more expensive. It has nothing to do with being "too damn lazy to record more frames".
There's also the issue of visual effects, specifically digital effects and digital animation. The more frames of animation there are, the more expensive its gonna be and the more time it's gonna take to draw/render/pose/etc. It's either way more expensive, or it's overall gonna look worse.
