i used to work in the adult entertainment industry... i was always amused(and shocked) at who they would pick as "experts" when doing interviews on TV. it really ruined all "experts" for me, as now i assume they are the equivalent in their field as the goons whom were "speaking" for the adult industry were.

Having been picked as an "expert" in my field several times in the past, the cited expert is usually the first person they talk to that isn't already busy.

That's always been the case with the media, any time they talk about something you are knowledgeable about you will find inaccuracies.
