While you likely have a point that this is being sensationalised, the money analogy isn't quite accurate.

The problem is that such "evil" messages can be broadcast globally without the ability to remove them. A dollar bill with a message on it can be taken out of circulation; the bitcoin blockchain can't be reset without major chaos ensuing.
