I'm not sure I understand your comment that science is 'easy to verify' - how would any of us verify that the LHC actually found the Higgs boson a few years ago? (10 year anniversary coming up on July 4th)
You're missing the "for the people that know how".
I agree with GP: Most news is bad, but people can really only tell when it bumps up against something they know. News on science just has a bonus where research gets published separate from the news, and so even people outside the field can compare the two and point out exactly where the news is wrong.
