Unfortunately Science presenters are between a rock and a hard place to explain physics to the general public.
As the science becomes more complicated the analogy is usually the only way to explain the concept, yet the more complicated the concept the less effective the analogy.
Then the agenda based opponents of science such as the creationists, the flat earth people, the Universe goes around the Earth people, the electric universe supporters etc all exploit these analogies by suggesting that mainstream consider them real.
So the message is spread that mainstream actually think space time is made out of a rubber sheet or magnetic field lines are real.
Its no wonder that mainstream scientists have been the most vocal critics to this analogy base type of education.
