With the recent scandals at the NYTimes, CNN, and Newsweek, I do know that it's important to at least nod a little skepticsm.

There is a real problem in the academic world about research in scholarly journals. Alot of it is sound, legitimate stuff. But I am experiencing some of this first hand doing research for my thesis, some research in legitimate journals is the equivalent of horseshit. Not not to pick on anyone, but reputable Russian journals are notorious for that sort of thing.
