I do think science reporters in an effort to convey complex ideas to their readership use "examples" that rather than being helpful perhaps add more confusion than they intended, add to that the desire or need to sensationalize their reporting it becomes difficult to get to a reasonable view.

I dont know anything about MOND but it is interesting some are tinkering with the rules of gravity to explain dark matter away.
