Reporters are sometimes lazy, those in the techpress perhaps more so than others. If there's an Apple manufacturing in the US, that's a feel good story. Easier to write than a muckraker about rural Chinese who stepped off a turnip truck and into dormitories, long days, and low wages. Cheaper to cover, too - like that won't speak to editors.

It's a sausage factory for Disney's main street. And good PR.
