IMO 'public trust in science is at an all time low' is because of bad journalism more than bad papers. Papers are written by academy-type individuals for academy-type individuals, not for consumption by non experts. An academic is usually pretty fast to determine if a paper is to be trusted. So interpreting and extrapolating to the extreme the results of a minor paper in an obscure journal is more bad journalism than bad science. Then we wonder why people don't trust science..
