I feel like now that we're at this point the fight is all but lost. Trusting science on the one hand yet "never [trusting] a press release from a university" on the other do not go together well. We should be much much more harsh on overenthusiastic acience journalists, press releases, overly broad claims and bad research practices. That should in my opinion include consequences for the reputation of not just the individual journalists or scientists, but the whole information chain that is responsible for the publishing of rubbish science.
