Why do the newspapers use difficult vocabulary and structure?

Almost all the English newspapers I have read, or saying it more correctly tried to read, use very difficult vocabulary and structure. I know a newspaper has to be formal. But it can be formal without using any difficult vocabulary and structure. It is addressed to the general public, not to some linguists. I believe even some English natives also have to use a dictionary while reading a newspaper. This problem seems to exist with all the newspapers not specifically with English ones. Whenever I came across with any local newspaper, it was full of weird words which I had never encountered before. Perhaps, those authors try to boast of their knowledge by using hideous vocabulary and kinky writing style.

Hi,
in Italian, I understand from the context. In English, I just don't understand, LOL.
The more vocabulary you know, the less trouble you have reading. But learning vocabulary takes a lot of time, it takes years. First you learn basic words, like "metal". Then you go on learning other words, like "copper". The last step is learning words like "nitrogen". It takes a lot of time, yeah...

Some articles are easier to read than others. In some articles there are words that native speakers hardly ever use in any occasion. I might be mistaken, but I once cheked out the New York Times, and it seemed to me they used "weird English" (= I didn't understand a single word, lol). But as an example of something much better, I find that The Los Angeles Times uses a very good English.

So it depends what you read. Technical stuff is full of difficult words, but most of them come from Latin, so I can guess the meaning most times. The problem is the pronunciation and the stress are completely different, so I always have trouble remembering the correct pronunciation (which is one of my major problems).

I cannnot even understand poem in Polish...

 ok! that was good to know

  I believe that English learners should be reading all kinds of texts including news papers regularly in order to increase their comprehension level. However, : )I confess that in the past, some of the articles from which I had been trying to learn, were the reason I almost gave the learning process, this had made me understand why beginner learners should avoid reading articles or texts that are too difficult for them as it may badly effect the way they think about Englishـــــit'll frighten them away.

: O I know this because I'd been there before.

were the reason I almost gave up* the learning process
