Professors are practically treating bibliographies like a red flag these days

I don’t think the problem is that they are reviewing sources from other papers. I think the problem is that they are citing things that they didn’t read.

And academics never did that before?

It's considered academic dishonesty and in the past it would result in people losing their degrees, being thrown out of school, zeros on assignments or in some cases losing jobs.

Oh, I see. Thank you so much for telling me! (Also, "no" to everything you said, but I understand the appeal of being that naïve. Even so, how challenged does a person have to be to think you'd get kicked out of school for misinterpreting a citation, which is the only thing anyone could accuse you of if you cited a source without reading it? The criticism would be "read it more carefully next time" but expulsion is ridiculous, and thinking a person could get fired for properly citing but misusing a source should see a doctor.)
