Nope, the press are doing them no favor.
Example: Some research shows that people who eat peanuts daily are on average more healthy than people who do not. Generally some big news agency changes this into: "Eat more peanuts for your health". Next another research shows that people who eat peanuts have a higher probability to get cancer in their right thumb. And again the press distorts this into: "Peanuts cause cancer in your thumb, don't eat them!" That's all there is to it actually.
And that's why I can completely understand NeonSamurai when he says he'd rather read the study itself instead of these news stories.
