It's not that nobody listens, it's that the information disseminated via the media is not what's correct, but rather what is politically expedient at the moment. Case in point: where in the article is the INR's brilliant prediction about the future of the war in Ukraine?

Their production is not public. All links in the article to past production actually go to third-party papers analyzing their historic, declassified production. TBH the article makes it clear they are not perfect, by mentioning that they got Iran badly wrong.
