It's always been like that with Apple. Most of the articles you see written have some sort of bias weaved throughout -- whether it's the characterization of Mac users as zealots or fanboys or pick your obnoxious stereotype, or calling Steve Jobs some variation of an evil deity, it's there. I never expect objectivity where Apple is concerned outside the Mac-centric press and the particular journalists Apple favors because they don't indulge in this stupidity.
Yet another reaffirmation of my approach. This security breach has zero to do with Apple or the iPad, but because we need page views, let's write a sensationalist headline screaming some variation of iPAD ON FIRE!!!! Pathetic.
