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?
