Scientist: We think we may have seen that it's possible this might be a superconductor IF someone gets better results.

Journalists: Superconductor confirmed!!

Scientist: What? No! My research is useless if taken out of context!

Journalists: Scientist says his research into superconductors is useless!

I couldn’t agree more. Another recent example:

Statisticians: German GDP decreased slightly in Q3.

Journalists: Germany in recession due to only producing last century technology.

A truck driver in middle Nebraska: I switched to an electric truck and it costs me 30 minutes extra per day due to charging.

Journalists: Electric vehicles are costing our workforce millions of hours per year.

Why are you blaming journalists? Journalists didn’t post this on twitter journalists didn’t share it on hacker news.

HN Commenter: Journalists never post on twitter and share anything on hacker news, they are always innocent!
