It's wild (and unsurprising) to me that journalists act tough when they have ample opportunity to negatively comment on accessibility, but don't ever mention accessibility wins.
Despite all the noise I made with accessibility on GNOME Calendar, no journalist has gone further than "better screen reader support and keyboard navigation", meanwhile most didn't even mention it whatsoever.

Looks like negative captures more attention and people don't care about good things much, it's a psychological phenomenon.
However, some of us silently watch what you post and be happy.

The basic principles of journalism are neutrality and impartiality. They should cover *both* advances made and current issues.
What those "journalists" do now is called propaganda and should be treated as such.
