Because such a system isn't just sunshine and rainbows like OP mentions and has real costs like ever increasing debt burdens and wealth and social inequality which naturally create political instability as lower classes and institutions become increasingly stressed. Trump is just a symptom of sentiment created by these consequences.

I don't think mainstream news is news anymore, its just become pseudo high brow reality tv with various organizations panhandling for your attention with whatever outrageous thing they can. There is that exercise of looking at the headlines from a month ago and realizing that most of them didn't matter at all or had very little effect on ones daily life. Its no wonder things are getting more extreme when every news outlet is falling over each other to farm that engagement.
