The problem is even journalism in main stream print media is often of low quality. This just not obvious to most people because they tend to not have domain knowledge about the things that journalists usually write about. But judging from how they report on things related to physics and mathematics, my guess is they are equally uninformed and imprecise, when it comes to foreign policy, financial or economic news. The truly competent people in those fields do not become journalists anyways.
