That's basically all scientific journalism. If it was geared only towards people who have advanced knowledge, it would just be the journal article. It has to be dumbed down at least a little bit.

The problem is when the author either doesn't have the advanced knowledge to effectively dumb it down so it's inaccurate, or knowingly misrepresents the study to push an agenda (I see this one a lot)
