Terrible Terrible Science Reporting

A huge amount of science reporting is just terrible - This can vary from the misrepresentative, to the blatantly wrong. There is often a bizarre disconnect between the actual published articles, and what the media say the articles say, and sadly it is the media representation that often gets spread, and people believe it. When the "information" the people have is found to be wrong, it is the scientists and not the media that get the blame - even though it was the media that got it wrong in the first place!

Ok, so that's a bit of a rant, and the best thing is to show you, so I will be keeping my eye on some of the rubbish representation of science that is spread around to the general public, and reporting on it here.
