In this case the info is at least correct just slanted, though in other cases it gets so slanted as to qualify actually for the word “biased” (even if it was an editorial decision purely for the title of a piece rather than the actual author).

What on earth are you talking about? People's financial information gets stolen all the time. The nude photos, and the deliberate leaking of them the punish the doctor for not playing ball, is the "man bites dog" aspect here.

It's a little sensationalized, but I think it's actually a relevant story that touches on a few different important things in ways that help people figure out the world they now inhabit. Nothing about it is even in the slightest little way slanted or biased or lacking journalistic integrity. If one of the ever-dwindling pool of places still doing real news also wants to post a true and relevant story that's a little titillating, I'm fine with that. I see 404 media more as the antidote to a lot of the systemic things you're describing than anything on the problem side.
