Is it just me, or has The Guardian completely lost touch with the people it claims to represent? The tone, the bias, the relentless spin… it feels more like a lecture than journalism these days.... See more

Extraordinarily bad stay away

I signed up today and paid an annual subscription of $200. I can’t use the App because it is simply unusable. No customer service, no humans to speak to, a three day wait for the “technical expert” to sort out their technical glitch … feels like a scam to be honest … stay way is my recommendation unless you have money to burn.

The Guardian is my go-to news source along with The New York Times. The writing is factual, at times fearless and with humour when required. They must be doing something right if the number of US RWNJ and Bolsonaro trolls are anything to go by. My dealings with the subscription department have been pleasant and they have always been helpful. Don't believe the haters.

Biased reporting

I’m very disappointed with The Guardian’s seemingly biased reporting of the current war in Ukraine. I found that all its opinionists have only and always considered the NATO’s position without ever taking into account the Russia’s understandable concerns about geopolitical security. Objective and unbiased reporting should be a mandatory requirement in any free, democratic and liberal Country. I contacted them multiple times, by using different methods, to express my views but not ONCE I’ve been acknowledged. And yet their editorial team states that they welcome “strong
viewpoints, particularly from the marginalised communities”…!! I’m going to unsubscribe from their newsletter and share my experience with my friends and followers.

The Guardian is pure propaganda

The Guardian used to be an excellent source of non bias proper journalism .Now it's just total propaganda part of a larger anti semitic lying hate machine of the extreme radical leftist agenda .It has been dismaying and sinister watching it decline and I will no longer read or support it. The Scott Trust Ltd needs to be thoroughly investigated .It would be wholly unsurprising to discover that Mr Soros or Qatar or both are behind it, that is the only explanation for the obscene amount of lies masquerading as journalism they proclaim they uphold ' values of honesty, integrity, courage, fairness, and a sense of duty to the reader and the community' that is sadly so blatantly untrue it defies belief . Make no mistake ,this is the marxist version of dailymail armed with moral authority and a better vocabulary .It's now nothing but a cheap rage baiting hate rag .

The Guardian is just awful.

The Guardian has become what can best be described as the left wing version of the Daily mail. Awful, biased journalism with opinion pieces from the likes of "Grifter in chief" Owen Jones.

I've given up trying to comment on The Guardian articles. Doesn't matter how polite or factual you are, if your comment goes in the slightest against The Guardian's narrative, it gets deleted. I've even added a comment asking why they're deleting my views, and that got deleted. The Guardian used to be "impartial", but now it will shut anyone down who dares to have an open mind.

Long time observer/guardian reader,bout to be…

Long time observer reader,about to be an ex reader,
the final straw is the recent down grade of sports coverage..football league tables stopped listing home and away stats separately.. no longer list team line ups, goal times or attendance .. and the match reports are now ridiculously poor.. for eg spurs v man utd full page article, baring showing the score not ONE paragraph on the game it self. Just a bunch of Googable facts, which questions wether the reporter was actually at the game or wether the article written by ai.
The paper is obviously reacting to budgettry issues Yet it puts in a ridiculous insultingly childish double COLOUR page of find and seek... This used to be a quality publication.. now it's .. well not v good. EDIT .. that's me done with the observer..WHY ? The football coverage used to be excellent, even handed and covering most matches.. today .. sports coverage covered the world cup a double page pull out?and 3 or 4 pages on it months before it was needed, a page of women's football..a double page spread on Aston villa, when a good article covering the match was sufficient,NOT a mention of the other prem fixtures which attracted world wide attention then 5 pages of outdated news on the ashes. And the rest inconsequential.. GOOD BYE GUARDIAN)observer

Predictably poor and quite childish.

It is difficult to find anything positive on the output of this publication. Obvious left wing bias, but the main criticism would be the quality of that leaning, many times lacking sensible journalism and basic common sense approach, more often borderline immature. I have no issue reading approaches to coverage on all sides, but sadly it appears to be primarily written for children.

Love the Guardian

The thing I love about the Guardian is that they are not biased and the proof of that is within their criticism of the current Labour party.
They will criticise any politician, policy or party that they disagree with.

They do their own research, their own investigations and if I'm honest, I think they're much higher quality than BBC Verify for example.

If we could replace the BBC with the Guardian as the main media source in Britain, then I would be very happy indeed.

Activism not Journalism

I have tried to read The Guardian so many times though you allways are left of feeling like you are reading a partison article rather than news with objectivity and counter points. When you look on the Website (ALL SIDES) you see that the centre is getting more news outlets moving to just reporting the facts without bias while the guardian goes more left it makes for unpalatable reading unless you feel comfortable in ech chamber ideas. Hopefully they can be alittle more readble for the average person as they have been around for a long time
