Lazy or sensationalism???
They want to impress... A NEWS anouncing about a huge discovered (more than reality) atract more views to the TV. They always anounce in the begining of TV NEWS, to keep people watching until the reportage start.
Even some scientists uses sensantionalism, especialy the medical field.
If we would take as suposed science breakthoughs, put together, and if all was true, we would be like in Star Trek.

Sadly, most "journalists" nowadays are too frigging lazy to practice due diligence.
Not like that's anything new. It's bad journalism to blame for the 70's "New Ice Age" headlines that are still circulating until today.
