Sounds like pretty much any non-scientific media citing scientific articles.

Okay, so other news sources also can be biased/wrong/misrepresent science ... how does that make this Breitbart article more accurate? or Breitbart a more objective news source?

Nah, same bullshit (neither more nor less fake), just in the other direction. Best to read both left-ist and right-ist media to avoid bias. Although personally I sometimes find Breitbart more agreeable, as they seem opposed to political correctness and unafraid of voicing inconvenient truths (opinions?).
It's mostly unsubstantiated claims, without scientific rigor to back them up (ex: they cite papers but misrepresent the findings), and heavily mixed with personal opinion. Breitbart may have been right about the election, but that doesn't really seem to be because the website is dedicated to clear objective journalism... Wouldn't you agree?
