New Scientist used to be a rigorous update on the latest scientific world, but now it is little more than a self-help magazine touting alternative remedies that have been proven time and time again not to to be usefully effective. IT hypes them because they have not checked that when a desperate researcher from a minor university says "it's still in its infancy", this in reality means it been tested every three years for the last 30 years to no avail, and that's why no bigger tests are done and that's why it's "still in it's infancy". There are a host of articles that follow this patter almost every week. They have found that touting this quackery under the guise of their old, (but now unwarranted reputation) of being good science reporting, sells magazines: clearly that's all they care about.
