"The media constantly bombards us with the latest research on a plethora of
topics without much nuance on its quality or relevance."

Science reporting is mostly very shallow and overhyped.  Mind you that's true
of much of the mass media in general.  They intentionally feed people's love of
outrage.  People tend to exaggerate because it's more exciting and more
motivational.

Cheers,
