    Just 12 per cent expressed strong confidence in the press to accurately report scientific findings.
-I'm not surprised by this. The press is horrible at reporting science and they do everything they can to make it more "appealing" by giving their articles link-baity titles and over simplifying things that can't be simple. Calling the higgs boson the "GOD PARTICLE" is one example.

I have to work in SC and I have to say, it's scary sometimes.
