- Take a story which could have massive positive medical and scientific benefits.
- Create a headline that invokes the supertitious - in this case mention "mind reading".
- Take a fictional sci-fi film.
- Slant the story in a way that makes scientists look evil.
- Cast a gloomy view of the future, making it seem more like the sci-fi film.
- Blame science.
- Sell more papers to the gullible masses.
