Would it apply to politics?
That's just an opinion mostly.
I don't think that right or left could be considered 'experts ' by any means, and both would be culpable for spreading misinformation.
I guess one of the ways that they could get them would be when they say blatant untruths or have no evidence to back up stories that they promote.

Not sure exactly what actions they'd be willing to take, but fake experts on "non-political" subjects are definitely used to push political agendas. For example, climate change deniers.
