Another terrible example: Last year, a scientist, particular type of photon capture mechanism to the physics of lightsaber plasma. What was the response? TIME: "Scientists Finally Invent Real, Working Lightsabers" The Guardian: "Star Wars Lightsabers Finally Invented" There are some more examples by CBS and other newspapers, but the point still stands. Scientific journalism has become so misleading that you cannot feasibly trust it anymore. TIME is one of the absolute worst in terms of both real-world and scientific reporting; they sensationalize EVERYTHING. Whoever writes these abhorrent posts seriously needs to be fired. Saying that the observations of photon behavior in a cloud of atomized rubidium near absolute-zero equal inventing a lightsaber is completely absurd. It's stretched even further by the idiotic TIME headline manager who also felt the need to put the words "Real" and "Working" into the title. This goes beyond yellow journalism into straight-out lie territory. It's sad that somewhat decent sources like Al Jazeera get completely sidelined by the public in favor of these horrid news-reporting agencies that have the audacity to call themselves journalistic.
