Flaws in scientific studies and science reporting

John Oliver is well worth a listen at any time, but I am seriously impressed at this segment. He takes down poor studies and abysmal science journalism, but he doesn't fall into the trap of relativism - quality science is the bedrock of modern civilisation and good science journalism can and is being done. Too often I feel that pieces on errors in science "forget" to mention the overwhelming success and dominance of good science. We need to fix science communication, but the way to do that is not to damage confidence in science further.
