A friend of mine worked for a mainstream European science news website.
Most journalists had no science background, and were pressured into writing 4 articles a day.
The result of course, was low quality articles and hastily copied press releases with no critical thinking. They believed everything corporations said, because they had no time to check.
I don't blame the journalists, but the work conditions and economical situation of the media industry.
