I don't think it's necessarily lying. The news outlets are highlighting mostly truthful information about Apple/Android phones and devices. However, it's a clear bickering match between the two, hosted in proxy by outlets who ought to not have a stake in the fight. The sensationalism nature of it leads me to think that there's some money in it for them.

I'm not going to lie, I feel like there's probably some money involved in the constant pushing of "X person used Y phone brand to discover Z important thing" news stories.
