Whats with the vendetta? Is it because their readership just doesent like Bitcoin or do they always hate on things?

Sites like that (dailytech is another example) are heavily biased by the authors.  If a site has a concentration of authors who have a snap judgement about Bitcoin then articles will be slanted that way.

Quote
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Ghandi (disputed quote)

The ignore phase was 2009 & 2010.  2011 was mostly the laugh phase.  If you look at the article in sequence the tones goes from one of laughably and mocking to harsh and biting.  People who thought Bitcoin was "stupid" in 2010 are getting frustrated because it is still around.

As I remember Gizmodo was an Apple fan ( before the lawsuit against them ), Apple stay at the opposite side of freedom.
I think that the two things are related.
