If by media you mean the Wintel PC Magazines or Apple Fanboys, yeah,
maybe they would still say so.

Enterprise trade media talks about Linux as they would about any other
solution,  in many companies, many of them recognizable names and
massive in size,  it is an integral part of their core IT strategy.

Linux stopped to be niche years ago (how many years ago  is an
exercise left to the reader).
