On a trustworthiness scale of 0 to 10, I'd pesonally score the Register as 3, the Guardian as 9.5.
And Slashdot as 2, Drudge as 4, and Wikipedia as, um, about a 7?
I'd actually give Wikipedia an 8-8.5 on trustworthiness. Writing quality is another thing entirely.
It would be foolish in the extreme to try and rate Wikipedia as a whole, since unlike these other places it lacks anything like a uniform editorial hand. Rating individual articles makes sense, and I suppose you could generate various averages as approximations, but this only goes so far.
