Why the Guardian is going down the pan!


Usual house price bollocks. I thought this bit was quite telling though:

Separately, new data has revealed that the average monthly rent on a newly let home in Britain fell to £986 in June. This was down 0.7% on June 2019, when the figure was £992, and marked the first annual fall since February 2014, Hamptons International said.

London was worst hit, seeing a year-on-year fall in central boroughs that was much larger than the average: a record 7.4% (from an average of £2,790 to £2,584) as overseas students and other tenants deserted the capital during lockdown.

How awful that a house can now be rented for a mere £2584.
 
Guardian reporters go to literally two places and conclude masks are everywhere.


These vox pop articles are always pointless shite but this is the worst one I can remember.

Can't be worse than that 'the working class artisan pizza restaurant chain owners of Leigh are still bumming Boris Johnson' one.

Oh yes, forgot about that one, but bad for different reasons I think - not that they thought going to two places actually meant anything, but that they tried to pass off a long-term-Tory mate of the journo as some random bloke.
 
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.

This case is very interesting to me as a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of my former partner.

Right now evey MSM network is throwing the "Johnny is an absuer" angle. Except, of all newspapers, The Telegraph! But then half of these networks are affilated one and the same so want The Sun's allegations to be upheld.

Those of us that have watched and listened to the evidence that can be found easily online and are also following people very close to the case on twitter know that the real story that is being played out in the court is a very different picture and shows Amber Heard to be a nasty piece of work to say the least.
 
Omg I can't believe no-one has posted this yet. In an article about Wiley and systemic racism by Owen Jones the Guardian originally published a picture of .... Kano! It's so good.


Kano: an apology. This article mistakenly carried a photograph of Kano when it was first published. The Guardian apologises unreservedly to Kano and our readers for the error, which has now been corrected. We would also like to clarify that Owen Jones was not involved in this error

An article when the Irish Post made an identical mistake

When Denise Johnson died last week they immediately put up a news story about it. Giving her wrong age and headed by a picture that they captioned as being her, but it wasn't her.

Comments were open btl. People immediately started writing in telling them to correct it. They changed her age to the right one and put up a new picture - that again wasn't Denise Johnson.

Third time lucky they managed to find a picture that was actually her.

I don't think it's asking too much for a paper to find the right picture for a story first time, and make sure the facts are accurate.
 

Steve Bell's cartoons were the only thing that kept me buying the Guardian for many years.

I've been reading the Guardian almost as long as Steve Bell's been doing cartoons for it, and I've never understood a single one of them. Not one. Not even slightly. Am completely bemused as to how he's done over 39 years there. Not in a negative way, I'm sure he's a very lovely talented man. Am just genuinely lost as to what any of his stuff ever means ever.

Response from the ‘Guardian & Observer global readers' editor’:

 

tl;dr "Starmer has not been attacked by the Tories much because he has no actual positions, and that's good, he can definitely win the next election even if nobody knows how because of this" (I can't quite explain the last bit)

Can't argue with impeccable credentials like that, can you?
