so called Terror experts ignore facts

Glenn Greenwald on How to Be a Terror "Expert": Ignore Facts, Blame Muslims, Trumpet U.S. Propaganda

Who are the so-called terrorism experts? In the wake of the Paris attacks, the corporate media has once again flooded its news programs with pundits claiming authority on terrorism, foreign policy and world events. We discuss the growing and questionable field of "terrorism experts" with three guests: Glenn Greenwald, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and co-founder of The Intercept; Lisa Stampnitzky, social studies lecturer at Harvard University and author of "Disciplining Terror: How Experts Invented 'Terrorism'"; and Luc Mathieu, foreign affairs reporter for the French newspaper Libération.

After the 'expert' made up facts about a city in Britian, he later apologized, see link below.

While the whole issue of "made up" reporting is abominable, the terrorist reporting is some of the worst.  Even worse than the mis-reporting itself, is that our own government has condoned, in fact, encouraged these self made experts - even has them testify in trials, etc, when there's nothing expert about them.
