We're not surprised the media are dismissing President Trump's claims of genocide in South Africa. It's what they do: everything President Trump says is 'without evidence' (even when there is evidence). Add to this story the fact that the victims of genocide aren't woke enough, and it's the perfect opportunity for the Left to dismiss atrocities that don't fit their preferred narratives.
Like Reuters:

They accuse the government of being complicit in the farm murders, either by encouraging them or at least turning a blind eye. The government strongly denies this.
Oh, well, if the government denies it it must be true!

A 2017 report by the Institute for Security Studies noted that 87.6% of farm murder victims since 1990 were white, and 12.4% were Black. Given that white South Africans make up about 8.4% of the population, this suggests a disproportionate impact on… pic.twitter.com/GGssvUWdeM

'Baseless.'
I am not fully sold on Trump but I will say, that his greatest accomplishment by far is most Americans no longer trust mainstream news sources. https://t.co/CMOpT9uhhd

He really made them let that mask slip, no?
One assumes that by this logic, Reuters will imminently call for the restoration of Civil War monuments on the basis that they are "historical liberation statues". https://t.co/3V8Ivk16cB pic.twitter.com/AhAAu6m2Xr

Somehow, we doubt that'll happen.
And here's the thing. Reuters, like all media outlets, is not interested in facts, data, and truth. They're interested in the narratives that further Left-wing causes in general (and harm President Trump in particular).
You know how we know that? Look at what this so-called media outlet did when one of their own data scientists found facts that didn't fit their BLM narrative:
