An intelligent attempt to encourage amateurs to avoid speculating about things they know nothing about. As with anything vaguely complex or esoteric, the media talking heads are pretending that they can break down a complicated issue (like contract law) into 30 second talking points and thus end up oversimplifying and misleading the general public. Fortunately, this sort of issue (esoteric, complex and intractable to 30 second analysis by 24-hour news networks) tends to fade quickly from the headlines, so with any luck, we won't have to endure the idiotic platitudes of news anchors and their paid analysts for much longer.
