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

Give up on the Grauniad!!!

Every time there is an Israel - Palestine/Hammas conflict story its always Israel that's in the wrong. They rely for most of their reports on Hammas journalists - if 10 Israelis are killed and 5 Palestinians it will always lead on the Palestinian/Hammas deaths. Very one sided and not independent at all.
Very unreliable source and is full of WOKE stories.
The sooner it goes the better.

Great newspaper

With their dedicated journalists this newspaper really deserves the "news provider of the year" award!
Every day I read articles on topics that I do not find in German newspapers. At the moment, it's especially the critical articles on the Israel-Palestine war, as in Germany any criticism of Israel's policies is immediately labeled anti-Semitic and shouted down.

The masks of their antisemitic journalists are falling after the Hamas massacre

I am reading The Guardian online everday since two years. But during the last days I realize more and more that some of the journlists of the Guardian don´t see the difference between being Pro-Palestinian and being Pro-Hamas. Tonight I read an article in which they try to explain that the occupation by Israelis cuased the Hamas massacre. I can´t believe it! They really suggest that the fanatic sick islamists of the Hamas beheaded women, old people and even babies, and that they raped women and cut their breasts etc. because of the occupation of the Westbank? Shame on myself that I was reading nearly two years a super left antisemitic newspaper like The Guardian.
For God´s sake I didn´t support them with one Euro so far.
Every reader who is against terrorism should write an mail to the companies that advertise int he Guardian and ask them why they publish advertising in a newspaper that doesn´t condemn clearly the Hamas massacre.
No to terrorism. No to Hamas. No to antisemitism.

A genuine journalist or reputable…

A genuine journalist or reputable newspaper engages in thorough investigation, interviews, and scrutiny of the world to construct a well-articulated and balanced story. This approach ensures that informed readers can independently shape their opinions and decisions.

In contrast, The Guardian selectively presents data, omits crucial information, and espouses biased opinions on national or global issues. This departure from journalistic standards has led to The Guardian no longer serving as a reliable source of information but rather as a platform for ideologues who manipulate the paper to disseminate content aligning with their narrative.

Crooks

The Guardian has three offices around the world. They make endless money out of selling the paper, out of selling things online and out of advertising. Yet they keep begging for a donation!

I use to see The Guardian as a reliable news source which would report impartially and unbiased. I remember when The Guardian use to be anti-establishment and critical of societal norms. Now its just a lefty outlet shelling out to the state and elitists that it once despised.

Guardian journalists and editors love…

Guardian journalists and editors love and live from creating scandal, chaos and crises out of any story, with the potential to cause serious harm. More effort is needed from writers to demonstrate that their “reports”, or more accurately “stories”, are based on verifiable fact, honesty and evidence through trusted channels.

A depressing bunch their staff are. They appear to see everything in black and white and try to demonise everyone and everything and polarise their gullible readership. It is not a good example for what presumably aspires to be a leading national newspaper.

A great writing of Fiction

I don't believe as LL the trouble this news paper is creating. I've purchased this news paper twice over 2 months, and each time I've read stories and reports that are fictitious and over exaggerated.
I will no longer read nor purchase this news paper again.
Instead I will just watch GB News as they deliberate give and listen to thought, and explain most situations to the people of Britain.

Dear dear dear

Dear dear dear
What have they become, a subsidiary of the BBC. I'm not the best reviewer but I smell certain stuff when it appears.
My last review was for Waitrose sprouts so you can judge me if you want.
I loved Steve Bell.........
