To be fair it's not just legacy media. Even (smart) Youtubers avoid political stuff as much as possible. It doesn't take a genius to know you gain nothing personally by taking a stand but stand to lose a lot.
Fuck I know someone who went to the same school as me and is now at Princeton and he is just a gigantic moron, and I feel ashamed that people over there probably think his views about our country are legit and take them at face value. I have lots of stuff to say about his views lol
Note: If you're in the UK or especially the US, and you see a Greek student there (or a student from any country that is relatively poor compared to the US or the UK) they're at LEAST comfortable middle class, and their views aren't representative. Plus if they are just comfortable middle class and not actually rich, their expenses will be close to null, you won't see them throwing money around for no reason. Unis here are free and living expenses are nothing compared to, say, the UK so a decent wage here is nothing if you live in London. There is no way just any working class family could afford the costs of their kids studying abroad and even if they could only barely manage it, chances are they wouldn't elect to do that since uni here is free. Unless the kids had some kind of sick scholarship. There are some exceptions but they are rare.
I can not stretch enough how prohibitively expensive studying abroad is for most people here, ESPECIALLY in the US. If both parents work (not to be taken for granted in a country with a ridiculously high unemployment rate) then a family makes on average like 2-3k per month, and that's considered the positive scenario. According to Google, the average disposable household income is about 17k per year. Do the math of said family sending their children abroad to study at an expensive university plus the high living costs and the airplane tickets every year. So pls don't take the views of these morons for granted.
