The truth is that controversy sells, truth does not.  Truth is the first casualty.<p>The use of propaganda has increased significantly as a substitute for research and robust argument.  Today, it&#x27;s rare to find a media source that is unbiased and honest (I&#x27;m struggling to think of one). What concerns me more is that the propaganda is getting worse. Maybe, it&#x27;s a side effect of free news on the Internet as there&#x27;s no money in journalism anymore.<p>I agree with most of the sites that have been criticised in this thread. However, I&#x27;d rather see a list of media sources that people respect.  I used to love ArsTechnica until about 18-24 months ago. Something happened in their management because they started with prejudice and politics in their articles (read Casey Johnson, San Mechkovich and Megan Guess articles as an example) and by dumming their content (someone used a camera&#x2F;drone rubbish that appears almost daily).<p>These days, HN is one of the better (not really media) resources around for openly challenging propaganda. I think it struggles with Political Correctness but it&#x27;s significantly better than most other outlets.
