In addition to the earlier points, I find a lot of the reporting on the misuse of statistics in psychology misuse statistics. It's a narrative, so "psychological studies are underpowered" becomes "ARE ALL PSYCHOLOGY STUDIES FAKE????"

In fairness, you can find psychologists seriously asking that question too, going back decades.

I guess I meant in regards to studies that suggest psychology studies are underpowered (there have been quite a few in recent years), reporting often says that the studies have been disproved, which most of the time isn't statistically correct.

Not just that.
