I think people misunderstand what reddit is. It's not a media organisation. It's a place where anyone can join in on a conversation. People get together and they speculate. I'm sure there were lots of people getting together in the "real world" and discussing those events and speculating. I'm not sure there's anything wrong with people speculating about events, though it depends on how they do it and how they present their speculations and what they do on the basis of their speculations.
