It's the NSA-related articles that often come from The Guardian. That's simply because this paper is the window for Snowden (not sure if they have an exclusive agreement, maybe). They have the balls to stand behind him, unlike a lot of other outlets.
Also, know that the rest of the main stream media don't seem to like the idea of discussing this mess and any possible solutions - probably b/c they're ultimately controlled by influential politicians or other moneyed interests.
