That seems more of a media effect than a brain effect.
A negative thing about a high reputation company gets published in "serious" outlets or upvoted on social media.
A negative thing about a middling reputation company is buried on page 7.
I'd say it's the "Wow, this was on the front page of the BBC" effect that triggers the brain response, moreso than the fact that it exists at all. (Coupled with the fact that you probably won't see much of what's on the proverbial page 7, ever)
