Sure, it's a little laughable, but if it makes even one person go "Really?" and go and check out a Williams track on iTunes then that's just fine in my book....
It's not about Goldsmith v Williams. It's that it isn't even a good piece about Williams' contributions. "The guy wrote this theme song and that theme song... remember those? Yeah he wrote em all". None would expect anything in-depth (scan other articles by the author and you'll see that this person sole job seems to be throwing together vacuous lists to divert) but at least get your facts straight (Jurassic World). If this had been a contribution from a reader it would have been one thing but it's a staff article on a well-known entertainment site. He opens himself up to scrutiny and thus criticism. Therefore, yeah, we have a right bitch about the utter superficiality of the thing.
Your all missing the best part at the bottom of the page. "Jennifer Lopez Goes Topless in Most Revealing Sex Scene Ever: "It Was All Me!""
It wouldn't surprise me if most of these superficial articles are written just to provide a webpage full of these other types of enticing "click me" links.
. . . GILLIGAN'S ISLAND -- even if he only wrote the "unaired pilot" score for that which was subsequently tracked throughout the first season, and I'm sure the author thought he wrote the theme as well as several episode scores. But really, how can anyone but us hardcore Williams fans know that?
On the day that Jerry Goldsmith died, the announcement of his death on the CBS Radio news broadcast played the themes from "The Twilight Zone" (Marius Constant) and "Perry Mason" (Fred Steiner) as examples of his musical legacy. Obviously, someone had seen the two shows listed among Goldsmith's credits.
Like many disciplines today the professionalism is out of the profession. Journalism was a profession and utmost importance was fact checking your article before going to print.

Whew - that's quite a claim. It's not like this is a key article from the New York Times, or the BBC, or NPR, or WSJ or The New Yorker, etc. etc. There are plenty of sources of professional journalism where fact-checking is a habit, an addiction.
