I hate to break it to you, but they are operating in the interests of the public.

It's just not 'your' interests.

They are trying to make sure everyone knows the truth about you and yours. (Well, actually, they are trying to get rich, but if that also means they commit actual journalism once in a while, so be it.)

If you don't like it, please go ahead and do something stupid so we can get your ass removed as well.
