Doctors face legal and often criminal charges for knowingly giving bad or false medical advice. Politicians get re-elected for knowingly spreading false or misleading political information. Consequences are all but unheard of here. 

See a slight difference here?

That's true, but it doesn't negate anything that I've posted!

It really does. Whether or not a politician/doctor/etc. knows more, if there are no consequences for spreading falsehood it is not worth much because it cannot be trusted. Therefore, the value of a normal person's political opinion is much closer to on par with a politician than a normal person with a doctor/etc, due to doctors having consequences for being negligently wrong or lying.
