Yes, we did have one on how to write an incendiary blog post, except I think that one came up when I posted it in a comment.

And here’s the comment where I linked it: http://bit.ly/9MGjt6

So true.

This is so so true of how science is reported in the mainstream press even more so than blogs as articles are very formulaic and often based on press releases.

In fairness to science journalists this is due to the time pressure, the lack of expertise a science Journalist has in the particular area they are looking at and the need to avoid losing the audience/keep the sub-editor happy.
