<i>They blew up a single tweet into an article about Apple&#x27;s corporate strategy in relation to the FBI.</i><p>This sort of thing happens all the time from &quot;news&quot; blogs.

The writer takes a smattering of fact, fits in into the existing narratives the news media is already telling themselves and bloviates until they have something to staple advertisement to.<p><i>What next? Are they going to dig through Apple employees&#x27; trash</i><p>Yes.  News organizations that should know better pad their pages with exactly that.  Constantly and forever.  The trashcan is typically metaphorical, and the rank and file employees are boring.
