New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, San Francisco Chronicle, and many others.

I'm sick of this mentality that old-media news is all evil. Fox News and MSNBC are not the industry.

Disclaimer: I do not work in journalism.

They're not evil, well some of them are, but more like lazy when it comes to fact gathering/checking.

[yzzxy]

I can almost guarantee that most of those outlets have more stringent policies regarding fact-checking and quotation than the "average" internet source.

"Lazy" might not be the right word...all of the tech journalists I have personally interacted with seemed to be pretty good at their craft overall and actually cared about what they wrote. However, this doesn't change the fact that almost all media companies and their journalists are woefully inept at fact-checking or writing stories concerning information security, including DDoS attacks.

[yzzxy]

That's one specific (and extremely counter-intuitive and complicated) area where reporters probably have weak domain knowledge. It's somewhat unfair to extend that criticism to every other part of human existence that journalists report on.

What are your thoughts on Al Jazeera America? I've been liking them as my replacement lately, but there seems to be some hate floating around for their main(?) brand Al Jazeera

[yzzxy]

I don't follow Al Jazeera America personally (I think they are mostly focused on TV?) but I know there are a lot of parallels to RT.

It's not blind "hate" for Al Jeezera as much as concerns that the parent organization is owned by the rulers of Qatar.

I've heard that their reporting is fairly good, so long as you don't look to them as a source of truth about matters regarding Qatar.
