I think it does a pretty good job of lampooning the way news outlets report on the scientific fields. And I think it applies to all forms of news media regardless of any political biases that may be present.

I don’t know where the disconnect lies. Is it with the various scientific fields, unable to properly communicate the significance of their studies? Or is it with the media, grinding everything into a pablum like chum for the sharks that comprise the public?

At any rate, science is genuinely awesome. I find myself awed by it everyday, even when I don’t fully comprehend it.

How the media reports on science? Underwhelming, with a distinct aftertaste of cheap, fast food.
