Of course there must be a lot of people who might have an agenda to destroy Zuck and/or Facebook, so it could be that, but personally I think the media just capitalises on the sentiments that already exist in society because that's the way to get more clicks. So, those stories that make people outraged about Facebook or Billionaires get amplified. But for Facebook especially, people have love-hate relationship with it because a) it's clear now that it is bad for society b) people need it at the same time because it continues to be convenient. So those stories in the media are really good for clicks because Facebook is not going away despite its issues, so it's always giant drama.
