It's TechCrunch... I won't say anymore because I'm also a member of the press... but it took me 3 seconds to find this on Google: https://gist.github.com/duivvv/2ba00d413b8ff7bc1fa5a2e51c61b...

Somebody forgot to fact-check his article. That's for sure.

I think that's just called "research," and it's usually step #1 for this kind of article...

Most reporters these days don't appear to fact check anything anymore. It's too important to get the first story out.

I always imagined that a company of TechCrunch's size would have interns that do all the fact-checking... similar to VICE: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/editorial-intern-...

they could just follow Dan Abramov on Twitter and they would have known about it for a good while -.-

They've talked about it so much they got sick of answering fan mail and stood up a site for it:

Or on twitter, or on github :)

Or the dedicated website on Fiber's progress.

They changed the article to "The company hasn’t previously talked MUCH about React Fiber" (emphasis is my own).
