There are two possibilities:

- the entire media is in a conspiracy against the world's richest man.

- he really is a jerk and when he initiated the Twitter deal it got the public focus on him and so when stories started churning out they couldn't help but be about what a jerk he is.

I think which of these cases you find most likely will say a lot about your personality and state of mind.

I don't see it as clearcut as this, I agree with your second point. But I think the press - that of course is not a single entity - can be unfair when they dislike someone and show a heavy publishing bias. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is simply a description of the current state of affairs.
90% of media is controlled by 6 companies with overlapping board membership.
