You are (a) wrong and (b) biased. (a) New Scientist calls itself a "pop science" magazine. It is not a scientific journal; it is a magazine which puts important scientific discoveries into lay-man's terms. You misrecognize this conversion from technical to lay-man's language as "jazz[ing] it up" and "sensationalize[ation]". (b) "As low as the rest of British journalism" ?! Perhaps you would like to give your definition of "British journalism" - I read both The Times (London) and The New York Times regularly, and without a doubt the former is the better written of the two.
