Because it’s sensational that so incompetent people are in charge.
The fact that sensation is the motivating factor for reporting is a problem
It's not like there hasn't been (and there isn't currently) reporting that's critical of US foreign policy but this kind of foreign policy has been going on continually for our entire lifetimes (and before) There have been protests and complaints. But in the end the vast majority of us care more about our daily lives than some kid in Yemen being bombed, especially when it feels like we can't do anything about it. So we move on.
Obviously it's not right but as a society we've all decided we just don't care enough to do anything about it.
