That would be, because journalists "as an entire group" tend to be a bunch of uneducated, ignorant idiots (at best; at worst they are activists who intentionally spread propaganda they know is wrong) who don't care if the "get it right."
And, no, the dude didn't shoot an AK-47, because that would be a Federal Felony, and dude wouldn't be free, much less back on the team in 16 months.
(In fact, from a technical standpoint, there were only a couple hundred AK-47s made; the model was improved, and called the "AKM". But that's completely snarky and I know that.)
Someone whose entire purpose in life is to transfer information in an accurate and interesting matter becomes an utter failure when they are inaccurate. And most, close to all, journalists are inaccurate, and often in critical issues. Having met a few journalists, I'd say it is because, as a class, they tend to be very stupid and narrow people with very few redeeming features.
