It took me a long time to realize that most of the media's science reporting is scaremongering BS, and I know people who have gone their whole lives without realizing it. It's stuff like this which makes me wonder if we really need the media in its current form. I'm inclined to say no and that's why I have no qualms about using an ad blocker. Maybe society would be better off if we just funded whatever shreds of that dinosaur industry are still valuable directly -- Glenn Greenwald could surely make a fine living with a Patreon account. Outside of very specific cases I would prefer my media outlet to be an aggregator of primary sources, perhaps with summaries. I do not want the mainstream press to publish any more bad science articles.
