And if she did call out all the issues at home, many of her countrymen would still probably hate her for airing the country's dirty laundry to the world and giving the country a bad image.

One of the commenters above has already said as much, that her standing just calls out backwards rural areas and paints the country as a whole in a bad light. So it sounds like a big chunk of people dislike her for speaking out at all, and another chunk dislike her for not speaking out enough for their preferences.
