I've read Ars for many years, but I just can't take the politics anymore. From article selections and titles to editorial and comments, there is a distinctive bias towards one end of the political spectrum. For the most part, if a comment section can get political, it does. And the most biased comments tend to get voted up.

I want my tech news without the political war whenever possible. I feel like Ars has taken the opposite approach and tends to step into the political fray whenever possible.

If you like your tech news with a bit of confirmation bias thrown in, this may be the site for you.

What is Ars Technica?

Ars Technica was founded in 1998 when Founder & Editor-in-Chief Ken Fisher announced his plans for starting a publication devoted to technology that would cater to what he called "alpha geeks": technologists and IT professionals. Ken's vision was to build a publication with a simple editorial mission: be "technically savvy, up-to-date, and more fun" than what was currently popular in the space. In the ensuing years, with formidable contributions by a unique editorial staff, Ars Technica became a trusted source for technology news, tech policy analysis, breakdowns of the latest scientific advancements, gadget reviews, software, hardware, and nearly everything else found in between layers of silicon.
