Journalists don't make good searchers

Interesting article from  The Observer The readers editor on ... the downside of Google which I found very amusing. The complaint appears to be that Google returned the name of an 'expert' on MRSA to a journalist looking for same to write a small piece. Turns out that the 'expert' isn't an expert at all. Would you have believed it? The title of this piece seems to imply that it's Google's fault somehow. In the article itself it is admitted that the journalist should have used other sources as well as Google. Perhaps if they'd asked an information professional they wouldn't have looked stupid in the first place?
