Agree.
There's 1) what you know you know, 2) what you know you don't know, and 3) what you don't know you don't know.
With those media members you're referencing they don't have a very big #2, but they have a very big #3. Knowing what you don't know is entirely in your control and it's lazy to not think about it.
If they were thinking about it, they'd know they're not experts on financing and the NFL's equity requirements, and they'd ask somebody who is.
That's why I keep coming back to credibility. Guys like Schefter, Keim, Standig etc know what they don't know, and they ask others before they report it. Others just run with it and end up looking like an idiot.
There's a reason the phrase "I know enough to be dangerous" exists.
