Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

[Serge Forward]

I assume people have read what it often says at the end of a Guardian online news story?

This is what we're up against​

A media ecosystem dominated by a handful of billionaire owners.

Bad actors spreading disinformation online to fuel intolerance.

Teams of lawyers from the rich and powerful trying to stop us publishing stories they don’t want you to see.

Lobby groups with opaque funding who are determined to undermine facts about the climate emergency and other established science.

Authoritarian states with no regard for the freedom of the press.

Aye, if only The Guardian wasn't so shit.

Even considering the guardian's liberalness, this naked propaganda for the City and removing taxes on the wealthy is a bit much It’s time to get serious about stamp duty on shares, a terrible advert for London | Nils Pratley

Several hundred words on Pep Guardiola spitting, and the supposed art within. It seems to be trying to get the whole article in Pseuds Corner.
