I really dislike medical research journalism

The process through which news and science are created are so incompatible. Journalism is so focused on WOW NEW NEWS NEW TRUTHS and the final word on almost all medical (especially epidemiological) research seems to be that this requires further study. It seems like it just leads to people getting burnt out on health research because journalists make it seem like scientists can’t make up their minds.
