I could say the exact same about the finance, defence, and health insurance sectors.

For over 40 years, I've only ever heard bad news about those industries. Still, it would be wrong to assume every single individual actor in those spaces is a bad actor; I know that bad news is widely reported in the media, and good news rarely is.
