I know these journos are taking their jobs seriously and trying their best, but articles like this seriously make me question the education that journalism majors receive.I agree, but you're underselling the APA. It's not a "frequently used tool." It literally structures our executive agencies. Every time an agency does anything, the APA is implicated and until now, the agencies at least followed the procedures the APA lays out.
The Comstock Act is an obscure law. The APA is the backbone of our government. There's a reason why law schools have whole courses devoted to studying it, and those are lecture classes, often for 2Ls.
This is usually most evident to me when they start getting into history. I imagine anyone who has a modicum of expertise in a field has the same experience reading articles like this. Not sure what the solution is.
