You're over-correcting and understating. "Nothing to see here" is not how we describe 8 days turning into 9 months.
Don't be angry about hype. Everyone has access to what the astronauts say themselves. In this case, their remarks have been ambiguous, probably because they don't want to be drawn into a shit-storm. They didn't want to be "victims" in any way, so they were not "stranded". But their Boeing shuttle did suffer problems, and that isn't nothing, nor is it a "scheduling issue".
End of the day, it was great to see the parachutes open. Health complications can arise for astronauts stuck in space that long. Their return was overdue to the point of being concerning for most people. Fair?
