Indeed it really seems to be looking at what the other sites are publishing and then rewriting it and publishing it yourself, often with no or minimal credit, as quickly as possible. It's a volume game.
Indeed that's precisely the business model of the Daily Mail, which may have actual journalists writing vaguely original copy for the printed newspaper, but have many hundreds more lowly "journalists" who have to rewrite copy from other sites, and embellish whichever paparazzi shots have just come in. They actually employ quite a lot of people in this sausage factory.
