Most journalists have to write 10+ articles per day these days. They just copy paste the original tweet, add a little from wikipedia, DM a few people to see if they can get an 'exclusive comment', and maybe a sentence or two of opinion and hit publish.
There is no time to cite sources or worry about accuracy.
