>What does a journalist know about verifying video data?
I don't think the parent comment was using journalists as a specific group of people who should be the ones in charge of verifying video data. I took it more as "we need a dedicated group of people for verifying video data, similarly to how we had journalists verifying all other sorts of data for their articles since the dawn of journalism".
Goes without saying, but, also, the parent comment was clearly alluding to the "verification by journalists" in a traditional sense of proper investigative journalism, not "journalism" that is based on pulling random tweets without context from random no-names.
