A) Given how few reporters are in a newsroom these days, and the amount of time they have to write stories (they usually write 2-4 stories a day), then you're right - precious little investigation goes on. This isn't 1986, when a newspaper could pay a reporter to spend days on a single story.
B) These are businesses desperate for revenue, and if these controversies generate more hits than serious news (and they usually do), then that's what's going up on the website.
