Seriously, what happened to real journalism?

Articles are now being written based on a handful of unverified forum posts. Really?

1) Betabeat isn't the NY Times.

2) Betabeat only reported that this forum existed and that someone had made these claim, which is indisputably correct. You may think it's not particularly news worthy, but online journalism is a big places and there's plenty of room for everything.

3) Would you rather this article not be written?

Not to mention the gratuitous editorializing by the author throughout the article.

Are there any technology news sites that are truly journalistic these days? (serious question)
