All journalism is like this now, and I don't blame them.
When people block their ads (proudly I might ad), and refuse to pay, they don't have the money to do any actual reporting. Add on to that the fact that just repeating a tweet and speculating on it attracts the crowds who don't block ads, and you get what we have now.
The masses only want a headline, and the rest won't pay for anything else anyway.
