However Global Warming is not a product of poor science reporting while "x causes cancer" pretty much is. They run those stories because it's an excuse to dismiss and sneer at scientists which is popular for some reason. I guess it's seen as unfair that some people have superior knowledge in one area and that instead all opinions, regardless of education or experience on the topic, should be equal.
The other one to quote some random scientist on matters of Global Warming or Vaccination and pretend the scientific community is more divided than it is.
