I welcome reporting regardless of educational background as long as the reporter puts down significant collateral that they lose should what they say is proven to be wrong.
Yeah but we all know this is not what happens. It's mostly not "reporting" to start with, or some of it is, but it comes tainted with opinion in some cases, or outright here's-what-you-should-think-of-this packaging from so called "pundits".
And of course there's no accountability if one of these happens to actually make a prediction that can be proven wrong. Bitcoin mining was going to consume all the world's energy by 2020, remember?
