NTA but in a just world you're absolutely right. You shouldn't have to.
But we do not live in a just world or a sane society. Your government and every other government on the globe has direct and active interests that they wish to protect, propagandize with and hide. Yes, every single one of them and this has been going on for centuries even way back when the Church was the ultimate government power in Europe.
Safeguarding yourself against psyops and propaganda is a necessary cost if you wish to not be manipulated by the powers that be. You're government does not want you to be informed and knowledgeable, they want you sedated, dull and blinded and if they can help it even lobotomized.
