BBC and the
Economist have some pretty good coverage. But yes, it's dull. And I find most of the science stories in medical and scientific outlets are pretty even keel.
You can't look at any outlets that also do politics and economics.
Vice, Vox, Slate, Buzzfeed... they're heavily invested in creating as much drama as possible, and if they can find an angle to hijack the story to a political discussion, they take it.
Here's a bong hit of horrifying possibilities. Now cannonball it with this giant gulp of "It's all that dumbass President's fault!"
I kind of like the
NY Times. They're pretty lazy about their shading. It's like they're trying to say to shrewd readers, "Look, the next two sentences are where we show our bias, which we have to do for a certain audience. Skip that and read the rest." It's good coverage for the remainder in many instances.
WaPo is the worst. It's Bezos talking his book 24/7 through the worst sophistry. "You must stay in because [insert manipulated stats]! Buy moar shit online!"
