The key phrase there is "tends to come across as if the info is correct". Lewis Black said it perfectly in the movie "Man of the Year" discussing how the media has evolved. He used the example of a two men on a talk show, one who is an "expert" on how the holocaust never happened and the other a respected historian on the holocaust. Just the fact that they are sitting on the same panel is absurd and worse yet, many people watching won't know who to believe.
As responsible thinking adults, we still have to discern what we believe to be correct and what is BS.
Even the excellent HBO series includes alot of research which could be found out to be incorrect in a few years.
Just my humble opinion.
