That's all well and good, until people actually start interpreting the facile interpretation as fact. Newspapers often present their interpretation as definitive. Then people go and make serious decisions based on this or start campaigning or policy-makers take it as informative about what's going on in the world.
On the one hand as a reader we need to be more sceptical, but on the other, a bit more humility is needed from these news sources.
