Good points. "
Some don't like vigilance from a free press informed society to be aware of extremes, extremists and their agenda and erosion of freedoms. They call the free press names, like "fake news," "liberal media" "leftist media," "mainstream media." They're harvested by biased right wing media who informs them with real fake news and popular conspiracy theories. Many use them as their only sources of information. They are convinced they're right and everyone else is wrong and misinformed. Often you can no more reason with them than with an animal, or a small child.
