There's no universally politically correct newspaper because all people are subject to framing[1]. I get that, even Socrates was affected I guess.
That said, what should be of major interest for a newspaper is to find the truth and not take sides.
I know Guardian leans towards a more social approach on almost all subjects, I try to take it into account when reading it's articles, but I like it because it's closer to my personal beliefs.
However, as of today, the fact remains: When a journalist wants to go anti-establishment 9 out of 10 times he contacts the Guardian (Snowden, Assange, etc.). Even Hollywood embraced the fact, in "Bourne series" Jason Bourne is after a Guardian Journalist[2] who is about to unveil a CIA conspiracy (or something like that).
So, either I have to accept that there's a huge conspiracy (ala 1984) where the Guardian is actively trying to deceit us all, or it's probably the most famous anti-establishment newspaper worldwide of the last 2 or 3 decades.
ps. I'm stating just a personal opinion here, I'm not stupid enough to think that I'm right and others are necessarily wrong or anything.

I have noticed across the years since 2000:
- a bunch of nmap appearances (notably Die Hard 4 and the Bourne Ultimatum, also one of the Matrix movies)
- some default OpenBox with XTerms in a few series
- KDE quite a number of times too
- SSH, bash and Unix FS exploration (cd, ls -l and its output, find, grep) at times
In fact it's sad that so much of the computer scenes are bad, but I've seen enough actually good attempts at being realistic that I can't remember where I saw them. What's sure is that the trend is upwards.
Everyone has seen Nmap used and might not even know it. It was famously used by Trinity in The Matrix, and has popped up in Die Hard, Bourne Ultimatum, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and more. http://nmap.org/movies.html
I wonder if Hollywood will upgrade.
Very cool! I've often wondered how they come up with the operating systems they show in movies. On occasion it will look like the real thing, but often it is something completely different.
Another cool site is the collection of screenshots that show nmap being used in the movies, one being Bourne Ultimatum - http://nmap.org/movies.html
