Google has unique troubles that many companies could only wish they had. While most companies struggle to make any money Google gets digs from the media for only growing 6% in Q1.

I generally agree with you about the way the media is reporting on Google’s earnings as a disapointment. However, it has to be noted that the vast majority of Goodle media coverage, and there’s plenty is glowing endorsement.
