I'd agree for the most part, I basically only visit two other dedicated gaming sites to this one because they've been less likely to let me down with sensationalist nonsense, factual inaccuracies or general bias influencing tone than the other major websites, although they both slip from time to time (one more than the other). Furthermore, neither of those websites has too much trouble with the maniacal fanboys that you get on N4G and the like.
I'd also say that the problem is the audience. I'm getting closer to 30 now and my tastes have developed over the years so I don't want to read something designed for teenagers in mind, but the trouble is there isn't really anywhere that's developed along with me. It's all still aimed at the latest wave of annoying kids who like to troll for the lulz. I think if more websites acknowledged that there are gamers who have been around for a while and are tired of all that crap and catered a bit more to those kind of tastes, then gaming journalism would improve drastically.
That's one of things that finally got me posting on here, there's a decent enough cross section of ages that such nonsense doesn't happen, and when it does it's quickly eradicated.
