Yeah, that’s a left-wing rag. Supports liberal ideologies, denounces traditional and conservative thinking. Hides stories that don’t support its worldview, promotes stories that do. If you’re looking for fair and objective reporting, I’d avoid The Guardian.

EDIT: A year and a half later and they’ve gotten even worse. Here’s a recent article in the NEWS section they wrote about Trump tweeting out a clip from Avengers: Endgame with his head photoshopped on top of Thanos’: . A few excerpts:

“Donald Trump is a genocidal warlord hell bent on destroying half of existence in the universe. That’s not a criticism from the unhinged leftwing media, it’s apparently how the president and his team see him.”

“….these low-effort trolling operations from Trump’s social media team tend not to be heavy on consistency or logic.”

Again, this is in the US news section. Not the opinion section. The fair, objective, non-partisan, hard news section. This is their plea for cash in the footer of every article:

“This year, much of what we hold dear has been threatened – democracy, civility, truth…Truth is being chased away…This US administration is establishing new norms of behaviour. Anger and cruelty disfigure public discourse and lying is commonplace..It will be defining year and we’re asking for your help as we prepare for 2020.”

The Guardian also goes on to sob about “rampant disinformation, partisan news sources(!) and social media's tsunami of fake news.” This website is an absolute disgrace, and I worry for those who believe that they are reading a real news site from real journalists. They are openly asking their readers to vote for their desired candidates in a foreign election, to help them (The Guardian) prepare for 2020. They are openly admitting that they are preparing to launch a propaganda campaign in order to elect a Democrat into the presidency. Disgusting.

As you may see from some of the comments below, a very common rebuttal to these facts is “Oh but it’s okay because I agree with The Guardian staff! Trump IS a very mean man, and he must be described accordingly!” What these people are describing is not journalism - it is activism, a completely different field. The Guardian’s employees are left-wing activists, not journalists. I would have loved to have been in the “newsroom” this week, watching these people mope around and try to contain their tears as they recover from their beloved Labour Party get pounded into the ground as BoJo and the Conservatives enjoy a historic election victory. Brexit is now imminent, and there’s not a thing The Guardian or any of their Labour mates can do about it except watch helplessly.
