Yep. And then some news org picks out some paper that goes against the entire scientific consensus on some subject and makes some headline about 'Scientists baffled!' when in reality they're just amplifying the reach of garbage science.

So in some cases the writers ain't writing them, the peer reviewers ain't readin' them...and nearly noone reads them... :/ and the ones who do and finally alert people for glaring mistakes...have to pay for the privilege?
