Journalism was always like this when it comes to reporting on research.
The media has been trashy for ages. You gotta check out a book from the 70’s called The Mind Managers by Herbert Schiller.
Man when I found out how scientific studies were funded and how much work you had to do to actually understand them after just seeing face value the media throws out I was crestfallen.
Like just how the Koch brothers have funded media projects and twisted the findings ALONE pissed me off to no extent. Everything we are fed has an agenda and it’s horrific.
“Experts say” does not mean that they are experts in the field they are talking about, it also doesn’t mean that any research has been done. It just means that they said it, it might even have been a joke.
