You say that like it's a bad thing.  It's not.

The word you're looking for is "journalist," or maybe "reporter."

But it's true that good ones are scarce these days.  We see that a lot in 
Bruce's news posts, but that's not the only subject where they drop the ball 
regularly.

Many so-called journalists don't do the necessary background research to 
understand the subject.  They don't check whether what they've been told is 
factual.  They don't confirm that they've even heard the person they talked 
to correctly.  But they write the story anyway. 

Basically that class of journalist is a secretary, not a reporter.  Nothing 
wrong with being a secretary, it's just that we, as readers, expect (and pay 
for) a different level of effort from a journalist.
