I just read the Kotaku article and the writer admits as much as they repeteadly leak INTERNAL emails from inside of these companies as well as leaked pictures of games from disgruntled employees

literally they're getting these things from employees whom are likely technically breaking the law

everyone on Koatku seems to think its fabulous because its 'honest' and brash journalism that's essentially keeping it real. I don't agree at all, in fact I hate when people leak stolen information and pictures from in development games. it can absolutely ruin a game's development or a company's feeling on that project based on how people respond to the leaked and totally unfinished pictures/documentation

The thing is, in the articles mentioned, it's not about telling the 'truth', it's about breaking the news on a new game before the company can.  Totillo makes it sound like they're a whisteblower paying the price for outting some terrible transgression, when in fact they were just spoiling a companies reveal plans.
