TechCrunch once said, "it's expensive to be right, it's cheap to be first."

Being first gets you a ton of page views for little work, you don't have to be right. Even being wrong is beneficial these days, since they get to make a big story about the correction too.

I think they have been getting mega traffic and are milking it.
