They say it's disgraceful and only used for illegal/immoral activities because those are the stories that are publicized when it comes to Bitcoin. It's not like the news has stories about "local man buy shirt with Bitcoin" or whatever. Even then this is likely filler content because they couldn't find a lot more that would interest the population.
It kind of makes sense when you look at why such a site would publicize this, but I'm thinking they're trying to emphasize the bypassing censorship part more than anything else.

I understand they are showing BTC as an infamous currency used by criminals because negative or - even better - shocking articles often get more clicks from naive people who do not know anything about BTC than technical articles for people who already use or would like to really learn about BTC. However, the value of the previous kind of articles drops down by time while the real tutorials will always stand for more open-minded people. So I keep it natural that BTC is going to be widerly accepted and known within the big society. The best thing that we can do in order to make the mentioned process quicker is keeping the tutorials alive for newcomers.
