I think most of that is because of the torrent of accusations we hear in the MSM. Politicians are crooks; businessmen are crooks. They never tell us about the welfare recipients who are crooks.
People, generally, need to start thinking for themselves and stop believing - blindly - everything the MSM tells them.
That's true. Similarly, we hear about celebrities who get into car accidents, but not accountants who get into car accidents.
It's part of the game. It goes with the territory.
