Fact checking, overrated?

I can’t even think of how often I’ve read an article that was obviously (at least to me) wrong. Science articles in particular because how many journalists really understand science?

This is just one example. I actually like George Will even though I often disagree with him. He actually is a huge baseball fan and is in favor of the DH (a rare opinion that I agree with – have you watched  pitchers bat?).

But apparently George Will’s articles are not that well checked. Gee, I’m so surprised…
