That's not what they're talking about here though, the research itself hasn't been diminished, just the media's access to the scientists. And that's what makes this so strange to me.
The journalists can freely go look at the scientific research directly because it's published in scientific journals, but can't call up the scientist to get the sound bite they're looking for.
Hm, maybe that's a good thing, journalists always get it wrong when it comes to science anyway
