It is easy enough to see how it works. If you are in academe and you want to start a research project about South American Tree Frogs you might try to get funding and be turned down.
After looking at successful bids for funding you spot a pattern. You then re-apply for a project about how Climate Change is adversely affecting the lives of South American Tree Frogs. You promise to add some lines in your final paper saying that their lives "could" be being adversely affected but more reasearch will be required.
When the MSM report on your paper the headline will be: Scientists say South American Tree Frogs are endengered by Climate Change.
