Because the press is a part of the establishment and it doesn’t want and alternative currency taking power away from it.

Bitcoin was born as an alternative to the economic system after the 2008 crisis and until recently, it didn’t seem a bit threat but with the rise in price last year, governments have started massively talking about regulations and the press have started reporting about it more than ever. It has simply become too big to ignore.

I think this is more of general fear of something unknown.
Titles of articles that scare you get more clicks than titles that say "Everything is fine, go on with your day".
So press just often focuses on the scary unknowns to get people's attention, which is necessary for their survival.
