  It’s not a surprise. Most consumers have no regard for privacy and may be waiting for a Netflix documentary to enlighten them on why products/services offered from certain companies may be bad. A ‘bias’ towards some companies exist here as there’s an understanding of the underlying business model, their disregard for data privacy and so on. Most tech companies and news outlets stand to gain nothing by educating the masses on these topics, and it will often hurt their profits as they may be a beneficiary in the overall supply chain. The typical consumer is consuming goods and services oblivious to all of it. They care about cheap/free goods as opposed to weighing the cost it being cheap/free (they won’t know why they should care, for starters). Those who are technically savvy and aware of what’s happening may bring attention to the underlying risks... which is what you seem to be classifying as bias.
