What about scientific studies? These are all from the press.

  The first 3 links are press releases by an academic PR office publicizing a recently published paper. They literally link to the scientific paper they reference, and being the second step in the science news cycle (https://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1174 https://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1174), their representation of the contents of the paper is usually fairly accurate. This is not a valid criticism of the GP. Edit: The second link is actually a paper.
