I've been a Mac developer since 1984 and the last time I ever saw a virus was 1988 I think. It's not impossible to get irritation-ware if you download random crap from these download sites but genuine malware is extremely difficult to produce. Saying "Mac OS X Isn’t Safe Anymore: The Crapware / Malware Epidemic Has Begun" is beyond stupid.

By "difficult to produce", do you mean difficult to find? If you mean difficult to develop, it's actually very straight forward, and no different from Windows.
