Because they aren't told, they don't look for information, they just accept whatever they are spoonfed from right-wing networks. Most will never hear about these things because Fox News and radio talk shows will never mention it, and if someone in their orbit does they'll just call it fake news because it wasn't from these networks. Propaganda is strong.

What’s worse is these shows don’t give facts, only opinions. They don’t report the news, only tell you how to feel about them after the story’s been spun in conservatives’ favor.
