It's like a David and Goliath story where David slays Goliath then Goliath falls on David crushing him to death

Or maybe David dies from friendly fire. I'll admit that I don't have all of the details of the analogy worked out but than neither have most journalists covering the story and that hasn't slowed them down.

One place where they do have a grasp of  the complexities is Marketplace. In particular, the weekly wrap does a good job taking apart the standard narrative. (You're probably already familiar with the excellent Catherine Rampell, but Linette Lopez is another journalist you should be following, especially if you like to annoy Elon Musk)
