It's just part of the media machine. FB is currently the "bad guy" so any media agency who can push the narrative is rewarded with more user attention. This has a huge snowball effect and will result in FB getting hammered into the ground until a more interesting antagonist comes around. Another interesting "bad guy" right now is Russia -- justified or not, notice how media outlets are trying their hardest to find any Russian links whatsoever to every bit of political news, even things completely unrelated. For instance, try searching for "cambridge analytica russia" and look at the number of results.
