You can't believe the news

DLife tells us that major news outlets, NYT and NBC among them, sometimes seriously miss-report the results of medical research.

You'd expect them to be able to actually hire journalists with enough general competence to get it right. But, they can't be depended on to do that. Don't take action based on information you get from standard news sources. You just have to check it our yourself, as difficult as that might be.
