I think I remember participating in a discussion about one such article. Those who were for the existence of the article made the point that "criticism" doesn't necessarily imply that the commentary is negative (although it is often used in this way). Therefore a "Criticism of..." article should cover views both pro- and contra-.
This is fair; perhaps it should be "media discussion of foo" or some such?

I like "Public perception ..." in cases where appropriate, and perhaps "Media discussion of ...." in others. I do not think we should go for (another) one size fits all. One of the reasons I think these are out of hand is that the naming of the article frames the content for these rather than vice versa. These should be named on a case by case basis with a perhaps a section on how to do them added to the MOS. They should be framed so that they are not one sided.
