Okay, here it is. An inconvenient truth
Science is hard. Science requires you to do a lot of reading and bone up on numerous related subjects. It takes a rare writer, such as Dawkins, Gould, Sagan or Hawkins to make science accessible to the layman.
Unfortunately the media does not want depth. They want shallow. Shallow and easily repeatable. Something sensational that can be glommed onto like a baby on a teat and repeated as a sound bite.
