This is mostly because "politics" reporters are *not experts in anything*. They're Nepos like Haberman, IV inbreds with no particular area of knowledge but entry passes to the right society parties, or both. Give these interviews to the science desk, the foreign desk, or the economics desk.

Fucking Chris fucking Cillizza used to be allowed to comment on US politics! Dude can't operate velcro shoes much less laces and he had a big platform for his "thoughts".
