They're professionals at writing maybe but that hardly makes them experts on science, history, politics, etc and I don't see any reason to give them a pass on their perpetual tendency to phone it in on the research.
That is by way of commentary, not rebuttal, just to be clear.

I agree with Nate, lots of Journalists are very lazy and the science writers tend to be the worst
