One should be careful not to live in or spread in paranoia where everything is a plot to deceive. For anyone looking at the source material and judging reasonably, there was no deception. Perhaps some journalists got a little carried away, but I'd blame that on the pressures of their industry, not malice.

The original DEA slide that was leaked says something very simple: traditional interception techniques do not work on end-to-end encrypted message services (e.g. iMessage). They can't just ask (or get a judge to ask) a law-enforcement-friendly cellular provider to tap the line and CC them on anything someone does. This is true for BBM and WebRTC and many other ways of communicating, as well.
