Those with scientific training grit their teeth when reading many science stories in major newspapers. The regional insert in my Boston newspaper carries stories from local towns which are laughably wrong at times. The editor doesn't fact check these stories - he/she simply decides where to place them on the page, if at all. The automotive section in my paper is completely biased towards high-performance cars and pickup trucks. There is never a meaningful discussion of alternatives or the impact of the automobile on society. To the extent that knowledegable bloggers provide better coverage of scientific stories, local news and alternatives to gas-guzzling cars, I say that the bloggers are doing a better job of journalism.
