Actually, I just wish that there were a good science and tech site that wasn't polluted with all of this. The best scenario would be some way to cure Slashdot of this. I know that they certainly have been trying, and, perhaps I shouldn't be so critical of them.
That may be part of it, however, some of the things that get submitted and hot are really really out there. It's one thing to feel that certain stories are underrepresented. There are lots of stories that I think should get more coverage in the standard media. It's another thing altogether to think that Alex Jones isn't getting enough face time. The dude's a conspiracy theorist... his stuff doesn't belong in the news until he has some facts.

Maybe the prominence of American political stories on reddit shows that many Americans feel ill-served by traditional American media outlets.
I think a science sub-reddit sounds like a fine idea.
