Everyone’s probably got a story about that:
Science reporters should have serious training in the subject matter on which they report, along with the highest standards of objectivity and rational skepticism. Instead, they oftentimes seem little more qualified than reporters for high school newsletters, if that much. They basically transcribe what the scientists tell them, dumb it down to their own simplistic level, and then report it to us as if they knew what they were talking about. Imagine if the standards were so low for sports reporters that they thought field goals were kicked in baseball.

Okay, but many papers can’t be replicated and many journals have gone Woke too. So it may not matter as much as Arvay thinks. Maybe it doesn’t matter much that the reporting is just as bad as the studies.
