> Gizmodo is reporting on somebody else's investigation

This is Gizmodo's business model. It is a glorified blog. They don't do original reporting. Gizmodo was originally a property of Gawker, and thus the model is essentially commentary and opinion on the reporting generated by other organizations.

Because Gizmodo is really just an opinion/editorial blog, it doesn't really attempt to provide unbiased or fact driven reporting. So it is then no surprise that the actual facts align quite poorly with the headline.
