Remember that ArsTechnica does reporting for money. The more sensational, the more clicks.

I think National Inquirer and The Sun uses the same tact.

If I were a journalist who wanted to rake in money it wouldn't occur to me to include dull screenshots of diffs and commit messages. For that matter, it wouldn't occur to me to work for a niche outfit like Ars Technica either. My dentist probably earns more than a tech columnist.
