Its the internet. Drudge carries more weight than the "old" news media would like to admit. One little story from an obscure news source linked on Drudge, and the mainstream news media sniffs a potential Watergate.

And keep in mind that any time "the sky is falling" is the headline, the paper sells 20% more copies.
