“We have reached the stage where everyone with a laptop thinks they're a journalist. ... It's very frightening.”

....and every creature that wears a dress thinks it's a lady.

Her English is not very good. EveryONE requires a singular pronoun since the antecedent is singular. Everyone thinks he's a journalist.

It's no wonder than most people get this wrong. They hear journalists make the same mistake every day. I even heard one TV journalist say, "Among we journalists..."

My old ears ache when I hear such verbal pratfalls.
