I agree, Betty. Reliable tech news is limited. The W Post and NY Times have some good tech writers, but that is about as far as I go for general US news media. Even NPR does not have a good tech reporter (except for Science Friday, but that is mostly science, not tech news). Most general print and broadcast reporters don't know enough to report tech news reliably. I have also cultivated some reliable online sources, such as Ars Technica, Slashdot and a few others.
APM'a Future Tense daily is quick, fun, and usually of good quality. He used to be a bit too gullible on malware stories promoted by the security vultures, but I think his listeners straightened him out on that because he has started to ask critical questions.
I would not say that tech "news" is limited. What is missing is good reviews and analysis. These days when I want a product review I go first to Amazon's customer comments.
