PRWatch
I found that PR watch is one of then only trustworthy places on the internet for information on scandals, bs, and generally calling out the business world for all the things they do. It is a great example of the consolidation of the newsmedia, allowing for any person to visit the site and cull from the many different sources of media a detailed, truthful view of the world. One interesting story came from the Wired.com Blog, about GM asking its workers to petition their representatives to support the bailout of the auto industry. I find this to be interesting, and a good idea, although I'mnot sure that they should have allowed to be so public. It feels good to know that it is possible to see all of the problems with our world. It is still important to remember that no one can be trusted, and even PRwatch.org must be questioned and not absolutely accepted as truth. Anything can be corrupted, especially on the internet.

I like your idea of healthy cynicism, that is a thing I believe we all must have. Even though a organization is trying to help us "screen" news we might also have to think that they do have their own agenda as well. Is anyone truly doing what they do to help society? Always search for the hidden agenda, but dont be an extreme skeptic. I beleive in a healthy median.
