How do you define "reputable"? People don't only read reputable media.
If you take left leaning publications in English, I bet you can still find some subtle variation of this written by average journalist with only pop-sci level understanding of the topic.
The current gen of journalists and teachers have learned from previous gen of books and media, which obviously oversimplified this and also had various political agendas.
I don't believe any reputable journalist or popular science publication has pushed that view in recent decades. Please post links if you have them
