Started with WSJ but lots of other outlets pitched in.

But if you're going to boycott someone over something shouldn't you boycott the entity responsible?

From what I can find WaPo reported what WSJ wrote and then gave plenty of space to Kjellberg and his side of the story.

More accurate to say that it was first reported by the WSJ and picked up by other outlets based on their reputation as a paper of record [1]. Whether this perception is merited, or if the concept is (still) relevant is another conversation.
