It's not any propaganda machines (besides Messi does not have such power. Look who is his agent, his father...)
but rather the naivety of fans and fanboys around (I am not referring to this forum only, but also journos who shape public opinion) who live by idolizing:
Messi is the greatest player of old time (likely correct), so it means that
Messi is also a wonderful human being,
with no personality flaws,
with all the virtues compressed into him,
who would never take any morally objectionable action
Hence, he can't be greedy
he can't be a tax evader.
No, that's only the maleficence of people who hate him (why?)
