A better title would be "Most news articles on science are wrong, false...", and this article perpetuates that trend. I cannot fathom an expert in any field seeing one study and concluding "Well, I guess that's then end of that". They all know that getting the study published is a pretty low bar, and is only the beginning of the process, if that process is to be continued at all.
Yes, news stories latch on to the newest study all of the time, but that's not science, it's just one journalist sensationalizing one study. You will not see scientists in any field grab the newspaper to see what the latest findings in their fields are. They read the actual studies, and discuss with other experts in the field to determine if the findings are actually interesting or not.
