Media attention and participation in rush-to-publish articles (not vetted) lead to a decline in respect for science (anyone remember room-temperature fusion Cold fusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ).

Sensationalizing preliminary findings is a staple of supermarket tabloids ("Experts say..."). Sadly, actual journalism costs money, takes time and is not a profitable enterprise.
