Most people, even here, only read headlines anyway. Every time a really weird science claim is made in the news, finding the paper takes a while, if it's at all available. Then reading it correctly. Then usually, you can write a a blog post about how fake and bad the paper is (that 10 people in the world will read, vs the news reaching millions), and wonder how the one and a half peer reviewers approved it.
It's actually a fun exercise, IMO. I did it a couple of time for surface temperature claims, which were completely bogus. It took me a couple of days to actually "peer review" the paper though, so it's expensive in time.
Beside "science" is not a thing to trust, it's a process. It's never fully correct by definition.
