I agree. Even when scientific journalism is responsible, there's a concerning trend on social media, esp. reddit, where a study appears to be judged by how interesting the headline is, and its rigor is seldom discussed (e.g. an unreviewed paper by researchers working with limited data will likely overshadow more thorough but less exciting studies).
But this isn't even responsible science journalism.
