What's funny is that in all the examples you listed, I can think of clear examples of "good guys doing bad things" that get called out for it and even "bad guys doing good things" and showing to be misguided and in need of help.

Shit that's the entire story of Pokemon Black and White (ironic naming), that bad guys use good and worthy ideas ideas to recruit naive people to help their evil plans and then discard them.

Which shows that even the guys who scream "media literacy" don't know shit about their own nonsense.
