There seems to be a correlation that the more you know about a subject, the more likely you think the journalist is simply wrong.

I have proposed the idea that if I put together a big enough group of experts. We might have a group of people who can refute journalism in whole. What if 100% or damned near 100% of what journalists claim is untrue.

I don't think that's the case, I have many good journalists who are across a spectrum of viewpoints who are good at reporting.

In reality, we should hold journalists accountable via Errors and Omissions. Require all journalists to hold E&O insurance. He screwed up, his insurance covers it.
