Sci-Fi Wire has gone downhill in a big way, around the time the channel was rebranded SyFy; their news site took on a new kind of 'frat brat' attitude and they take potshots at anything not originated by NBC Universal - in other words, they're about as unbiased a news source as, oh, say, Fox News Channel.
I've started leaning heavily on Airlock Alpha for my news fix. They have a good knack for analyzing any spin in the press releases they get, interpreting US TV ratings and so on.
