Yes, Let’s Start Tracking Misleading Press Releases About Scientific Findings
Science of Us is not a fan of press releases that misrepresent research findings.

The most notable is Bill Dembski who claims to have developed a method to distinguish things that are designed from things that arose naturally. His schtick is information theory and computer science.
