What stake does "the media" have in bitcoin? It's a fun story to write about.

News died. There's no ad-supported news anymore. Anything taking that format is no longer selling ad space to survive. They're selling your opinion.

The modern media that takes the form of news isn't news. It's public relations for corporate and government interests. Whenever a story like this "suddenly feels" anything it's being manipulated by those interests.
