Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

[D'wards]

You really have to watch The Guardian. If you know something about a situation then their biases are so evident to see.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are going through terrible court battles at the moment.
They totally ignored the fact that Heard admitted on tape to beating him up, then mocking him for his response to the situation which was to leave the house when she gets violent.
But did a full front page (internet) story on a text he'd sent to Paul Bettany saying "Let's burn amber" in regard to the situation.

They really are no better than the Mail, yet they claim the moral high ground.

And it does lead me to conclude that they can't be trusted as your only news source.

I'd be interested to know if there are many people who only use them.

My mum pretty much gets her news exclusively from the guardian. My dad gets his from facebook.

This from Suzanne Moore about Thurston Moore's new record shop in Stoke Newington contains this zinger:

Perceptively, she tells me English people wouldn’t have done this. “There is something hopeful and generous that Americans have.”

It's an independent record and magazine shop. She clearly has no idea about what the current state of play with small independent record and magazine shops is (they are fucking everywhere. Even Stockport), and hasn't bothered to find out. She's literally just walked to the shops and written a fucking article about it.

that is a brilliant piece. Who knew record shops had visitors that were knowledgeable about music (and other stuff!)? And, to be fair, only two of the three record shops that opened in Sheffield in the last couple of years were set up by English people. The others a Scot. I am glad I read the line 'Satanists are people too' though

I'm interested in Thurston Moore's record shop tbf, and would like to read an article about it. Just not this one.

 

[belboid]

Yeah, if I was nearby I'd definitely call in. And you could get an interesting piece about how such shops are (becoming?) 'community spaces' and need to do more than just sell records. But it sure reads like SM hasn't been into one since she had to write a piece about High Fidelity.

 

[killer b]

Fairly sure a number of niche record shops have opened, failed and closed again in Stoke Newington over the last few years without Suzanne Moore noticing. Probably too little american generosity going on there.

I actually drove down Stokey Church Street earlier today, though I didn't notice Thurston or his shop.

Next time I'm passing I'll have to look out, and maybe even pop in

Not the worst thing that Moore has written recently.

The piece in question:

Women must have the right to organise. We will not be silenced | Suzanne Moore

The treatment of Selina Todd this weekend was a warning. We have to protect women’s sex-based rights, says Guardian columnist Suzanne Moore

Work-from-home fashion: is a dressing gown and underpants the best option?

Some have claimed that you can dress ‘from the top up’ for conference calls – but far safer, and more cosy, are humble jogging bottoms

Working from home fashion. I've opted for a blanket with a hole cut in it for my head, stained with splatter from the endless bowls of lentil-based gruel on which I now subsist.

Like everyone else who works for the guardian she's incredibly posh, but her column is one of the few things of value the paper actually publishes.
