I don't understand your point. It follows that if they don't have the expertise, than maybe they should not have published the article, no?

  I think there's a world of difference between "someone misunderstood something and published an incorrect article" and "someone deliberately wrote misleading headline". My reading of GP disappointed post was that they were accusing them of the latter; which is, in my opinion, underserved here.

    > I think there's a world of difference between "someone misunderstood something and published an incorrect article" and "someone deliberately wrote misleading headline". There's a difference, but I don't really see the "world" of difference. They both seem like fundamentally irresponsible journalism. Case (a) should never happen because there's an assumption of due diligence, and case (b) should never happen because there's an assumption of truth-seeking. Not doing due diligence is pretty close to ignoring (or at the very least not caring about) the truth.

      I think in an ideal world you’re basically right. In the world we’re living in, with the incentives of modern journalism being what they are (and the state of gaming media industry specifically), I’m willing to cut more slack to people writing about things outside their comfort zone.
