Because the media is willfully lying.

Conan O'Brian and his bullshit "Everything is great in Haiti!" stunt seriously should have convinced even the most trusting that yes, the media, from "news" to entertainment, is lying.
Yes, well known journalist Conan O'Brien is who I seek when I am forming my opinions on geopolitics

Also I'm guessing the purpose of the Conan piece was to 1) rebuke Trump for calling it a shithole - rude, unproductive, and should be below the station of the POTUS - and also help drive tourism, which I'm assuming is the nation's main source of income, by showing a fancy resort, as opposed to what's usually shown on news; a destitute country leveled by natural disasters seemingly yearly. Not on Conan to show the other side of the resort.
