You're right, but people ain't ready to hear that story yet.

People are not as naive as you think. They know everyone is looking out for their own interests, and that money rules everything.

The problem isn't that people aren't ready to hear the shocking revelations about the news being biased, it is that individuals don't want to be the odd one out. One person outraging over the total legitimate concern of being recorded in public with cameras on glasses gets laughed at. But if you get enough people at once to get upset then it becomes a movement.

If you think that people don't care about all these things that make life actively worse for the aggregate but are useful for individuals, then you are mistaken. They are just willing to go along with it if it appears everyone else is.
