My own "original research" has been
that
journalists often get the gist right but the details wrong.
That's the most we could ask of generalists. Details are far less
important in the scheme of things.
My thought process goes "if they can't get simple details right,
details available on the front page of a Google search, how do I know
the rest of the article is correct?" What else has been
misinterpreted? Exaggerated? Downplayed?
