The frustrating part is the last paragraph of the article that says it's now the reader's job to verify everything. On top of everything else people already have to filter through, now you also have to fact-check whether the expert quoted even exists?
And if the source is made up, then the whole articles collapses. How can you trust an article if the expert is fake?
