Also, I'd like to add that most of the FATAL FLAWS (TM) that the mainstream press is discussing today were discussed in great detail on bitcointalk since 2009.
It just happens to be a community that has had a great interest in creating and seeing bitcoin succeed. Of course, with growing numbers, the noise hides the signal, but take a look at the relevant subforums and you will indeed see serious discussions about bitcoin viability, previous challenges, future challenges, network security, scalability, etc.
