Well, judging from the relative success rates of brain surgery and journalism, journalism may well be more difficult than brain surgery.
I guess it depends on how you define journalism:
“Investigating factual events as best you can and honestly reporting your findings”: easy
“Convincing the world to your point of view with lots of flase info without them noticing”: harder than brain surgery
See? It’s all about the definition of the word.
Actually, many people would question how well, overall, journalists do at “Investigating factual events and honestly reporting their findings”.
