“It is necessary to guard ourselves from thinking that the practice of the scientific method enlarges the powers of the human mind. Nothing is more flatly contradicted by experience than the belief that a man distinguished in one or even more departments of science, is more likely to think sensibly about ordinary affairs than anyone else.”
Wilfred Trotter
Noted Social Psychologist

This quote is taken from F.A. Hayek’s book “The Fatal Conceit - The Errors of Socialism”

I would think that that quote would apply not only to science but doubly to "objective" journalism.
