The problem is that genuinely good stuff gets lost amidst the crap reporting - and I don't agree that it's bad science. It can be, of course, but generally it's stupid analysis by the non-scientifically trained that is the problem. Our daughter is a chemist who has run training courses for scientists on how to communicate with the media. Even when they are trained in how to communicate, however, there is no way of allowing for the general stupidity (or angles) of those who will be charged with disseminating the results.

So basically, unless you fancy spending all your free time studying the fine detail to weed out the bullshit, then it's best to ignore them all and rely on your own common sense.

Spot on! 

edit: or get science mags that are genuinely scientific but for general (intelligent) leadership.

Jeez - is Russell Brand always such an arsehole? He is exactly the type of person to give me a migraine.

Yes.

He is pretty obnoxious, he's really unpopular and most people hate him so you are in the clear majority.
I think it is the audience he plays to . . . . . he does the cheeky chappie routine, very English . . . sort of a Norman Wisdom/Max Miller thing.
But Alain De Botton made sense (talking to Brand's audience obviously)
Anyway I think they have the Daily Mail sussed . . . . which was the topic.

And I'm glad someone says the things Brand says . . . it's healthy stuff.
