Michael Crichton used to call this the "Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect." That non-specialist reporting is usually grievously inaccurate about everything. But we tend to only notice when it's inaccurate about a subject we are trained/educated in, and then assume that it's accurate everywhere else.

An effect that was wonderfully illustrated in his book State of Fear, where he intended to undermine climate science.
