I fell into a rabbit hole when I was looking for coverage of a recent relatively technical biological result and the most prominent Google results were from 'evolutionnews.org' aka 'scienceandculture.com', run by the 'Center for Science and Culture.' Imagine my surprise to find this is all run by a 'Discovery Institute' with tens of millions in funding dedicated to pushing 'intelligent design' and behind the campaign to have anti-evolution views taught in public high school science courses.

Not of course to say these outfits are behind the decline in science reporting, but it's a real tragedy how difficult it is to find actual and competent scientific journalism today, a tragedy that makes the job of such charlatans all the easier. I'm glad that Quanta Magazine seems to be doing well enough, which certainly isn't perfect but I've read some good articles from them.
