Thats how all news spreads now. From what I can make out, an article will get posted on a reputable site like reuters, and a bot will repost it on reddit/digg/et al. or it'll get posted initially on a blog-style site, and be reposted by a bot. r/news and v/news both depend on botnets to get news spread around.
