They do not honestly because they’re not even aware of half the story, they believe we make it up. People who have to defend their points of view constantly know what they’re talking about. Not them. They’re so uneducated it’s frightening.
To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, "by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only." Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more completely deprive the nation of its benefits, than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day. . . . I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Norvell, 1807
We clearly have a much more permanent issue with journalists than most of us are willing to admit, and we need to understand the material nature of that problem. Is it advertisers' influence? The inborn character of gossips? Is it the international influence, or globalist (anti-national) influence?

Yeah these are the same people who already try to characterize Parler and such as if they are online KKK rallies.
