"News" companies fired all the journalists and replaced them with a quarter as many "writers" instead. Even when these new people have the training and qualifications to actually be a journalist, that's not their job anymore. For the most part, news corporations literally cannot afford to do journalism like they used to, because internet advertising crashed the price of ads in journalism sources, and everyone decided that seeing one inaccurate story meant the entire system should be thrown away and replaced with pundits slinging ass-pulled takes and lines to vaguely apply to whatever happened today, to an audience happy to never self reflect about all the things the pundit gets wrong.

One group cannot speak on all things, they just cannot have all the required knowledge, experience, and practice to accurately judge more than a few corners of reality. The modern jack of all trades can only really have a surface level understanding of most things.
