I don't disagree with the sentiment, although I think you go a little too far - not everyone can be an expert in everything, and journalists have a genuinely hard problem of trying to a) learn something well enough and quickly enough to get it to print within a few hours, and b) manage to reduce it to a form that the average reader will understand. These are genuinely hard problems.
P.S. Either way, the house rules here are to "be nice". You can argue (and many do in this thread) whether this is a good policy, but it is the policy.
