Theres a difference between wanting to be taken seriously and being serious.
People from the government/media often say they are serious, or to take a storm seriously, or that they are no nonsense people, which is not the same as being serious. They want to be taken seriously, that's why they're saying what they're saying the way they're saying it. When someone wants to get respect, or be respected, they'll say/do just about anything to get what they want, just like people will say/do just about anything to get money or anything else they want. It's the way people are, it's the way the world is as long as there are people in it.
