I think it might simply be that they have a limited amount of resources to sensor things, at the moment. And when normies see these stories they think "Oh, the government was bad back then, but thank goodness they are not that way now". It never pops into their mind that the government is worse now than it has ever been. However, if you run into a normie that starts questioning the government, point them to these stories and they might have an "Ah Ha!" moment realizing that the signs for the government being evil were always there, they just never put them together.
Even I find myself jolted awake to how long the FBI has been really corrupt and evil. I thought it was outrageous that they lied to get warrants to spy on Trump and ended up getting away with it. It seemed that they were getting worse and more political. But then you look at the 1993 Waco, Texas incident, and you see that the FBI has been doing the same exact thing for years (lying to get warrants and much worse in that case). While the ATF rightfully gets a lot of blame for that incident, we should not forget that the FBI was the driving force behind it as well.
