This bothers me a lot of media reporting. The headline will be something like "X is good/bad for you" with a tiny effect size but the way it's reported makes you assume it's a large effect size. Usually the effect size won't be discussed in any depth or at all, they just want to sum it up in black and white. If the effect size is tiny it's probably just noise that would disappear in a higher quality future study.
