Journalism Rule 2A: Whenever reporting on a study, state which peer-reviewed source has published it, or state that it has not been accepted under peer review.*

Fail again.


* And if there's a reason for that, say why. IIRC, when the researchers in the hormone replacement therapy study discovered how bad the risk figures looked for women on HRT, they didn't wait for peer review before making the announcement that they were calling off the study. In those circumstances, it was appropriate not to wait to have it verified.
