Hi Thomas
I know how you feel.
The practise of sensationalising news is not limited to science journalists.
The one I hate with science journalism goes along the lines..."General Relativity proved right again"...mmm 100 years and it is still around makes one wonder what is so news worthy. Why not "Maxwell's equations still work" or " Evolution continues to explain stuff".
But it's not the fault of GR and it's experts (one would hope) but the fault of a journalist using worn out ways of promoting his article...and maybe it's not him but the editor of the organisation that publishes the article...which is most likely given the number of articles on GR announcing it is right again for the third time this year.
