    I think that if you apply this standard then you will not be able to use any science news sites. Even the best scientific journals publish very wrong papers from time to time. You should never expect to have an infallible source.

    For me these popular science sites are collections of summaries trying to persuade me to look deeper into a body of work. If they make mistakes it is not so important because either I don’t care enough or I will look into it deeply enough to find out.
