I think newspapers and blogs are also fanning the flames. There were suggestions that this would happen before it did (economist), then the media began reporting rumor, then events started happening (albeit small) these were picked up by the national media and blogs. This feels more like a game the media is playing with society, rather than a true reflection of how society feels about tech workers. This isn't news.
