SoylentNews
If you read SoylentNews, Ars Technica, Reddit, or anywhere other than the other site, you've probably heard about SourceForge hijacking accounts and monetizing open source software with crapware installers. It seems the other site is intent on burying that information. Perhaps they don't consider it newsworthy?
For those still using SourceForge, there are many superior alternatives.

If bankers can count, how come they have eight windows and only four tellers?

Honestly it's pretty tough to do, humans are inherently biased, especially in this global culture we live in.
We (the SN editors) do strive to be "neutral and factual", but it's not as simple as intending to do so. One of the things we have going for us is that we don't seek profits or motivation to get page-views (no ads etc.), so there's no push for click-bait, but it does slip through (we mostly post what comes in as submissions, and they often have bias or clickbait that we are constantly trying to remove). We really are (believe it or not) just trying to report on what we see come down the pipe, and give the community what they want. Even there, the community is diverse enough that this task isn't as simple as one might hope. (/rambling)
