The problem is that the initial, flawed findings fit the biased narrative that the many in the media (both traditional and social) prefer to perpetuate. As a result, the surveys and stories that support their biases get top billing as headlines for days or weeks. People are often so eager to hear claims that support their beliefs that they don't investigate the credibility of the claims.

When the truth comes out, the same media outlets will likely do nothing and at most will publish a small redaction (same goes for individuals who spread this on social media). I have no expectation that the true nature of this study will be widely reported or nearly as promoted as the initial false results.

The world needs more rational skeptics. We have to hold each other accountable by ask probing questions about the nature of "facts" that are presented us. Seek truth.
