I spent almost a decade in DC and knew many political, legal, and technology reporters. For the most part, they often don't know what they're talking about. They have no background in the subject, no training or study in the subject, and rarely do any research on their own.

The worst/laziest literally copy and paste from their "trusted sources" instead of writing it on their own.. which is even worse when that source is a press release or otherwise manicured statement.
