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

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

Absolute scum.

Absolute scum.
Disgusting, slimy pieces of work should be ashamed of themselves. This is not news, this is propaganda. Unbelievably biased, you must be blind to read this garbage, and brain dead to believe it.

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. I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can justify paying for content that seems to repeatedly misrepresent the public mood.

Aside from the occasional decent skincare review, it's hard to find anything worth sticking around for. Maybe it's time to admit that legacy media isn’t where real journalism lives anymore?

Phony

The lean left and do not support factual evidence. They just trash anyone who has an opposing view and try to come across as intelligent. ARROGANCE.

the Guardian Bolsonaro article

There is an article on the Guardian about Bolsonaro. Also what they call a Riot and a tentative of dictatorship. I'm Brazilian and our actual government is trying to implement dictatorship with the fake judge A. Morais, trying to ban freedom of speech, social media communities, communications, and to support the corruption in Brazil who has inside governance. Therefore what a fake media this "The Guardian", article has been written by a member of Brasilia (capital). Certainly a good friend of the leftist government. But do not worry, similar to Venezuela, USA and Europe will help us free our country from the left corrupted government and bring back fairness, honour and respect to our population. The title of the article should be "the fake judge and the fake Guardian"

Very annoying pop up on every visit

I hate the Guardian politically, but that's not even why I'm leaving this review. I was watching Frasier and they mentioned Marathon bars. I thought I'd look them up and there was a Guardian News article about them, and it was mentioning the temporary rebranding of Snickers to its old name, Marathon, and I still got this annoying pop up. Also, I don't like that they keep track of how many articles I've read by looking at my IP address visits. It's not via cookies because I have all those trackers blocked. I don't have an account, looking at how many times my IP address has visited an article is the only way.

A very average paper

The begging for cash section at the end of every article is annoying and smacks of desperation. The articles that you want to comment on quite often don't have that option and the ones that do are closely monitored so that no snowflakes are offended by any harsh words. A lot of the Lifestyle/Culture articles are pure dross and the 'news' reporting is average at best. Not the worst paper out there (Hello Daily Mail) but nowhere near the best.

Agree with us or be gone

However polite you are, if your posts do not follow their worldview, you find "commenting has been suspended". Despite particularly foul posts that follow the accepted views despite having not substance save for insults. And still they hold out the begging bowl.

Newspaper never got delivered

We signed up for their weekend delivery service. It did not arrive even once. Customer service is very helpful and always receptive to feedback but ultimately they do not know what they are doing. No one could tell me what is going wrong or what they are doing to fix it. One agent told me it’s quite common that the customers experience delivery issues, we have to be patient. Sounds like incompetence is acceptable! I was a long time supporter of guardian after this experience cancelled all my subscriptions.

Todays coverage of migrant crisis is an all time low

Todays coverage of Kier Starmers record
breaking record on not smashing the gangs is an all time low in simply rephrasing government planted drivel. Lady Smith has the temerity to blame the surge after13 months on the last gov. Give me strength. Then we have the pathetic handout on reasons for the surge which anyone would fail were it a student essay.
Not one single piece of evidence is given
as to why these factors would account
for a surge in the level as opposed to being reasons to seek entry to the country in the first place. As if that was not stupid enough not one mention about the incentives and laxity displayed towards
unchecked migrants via non legal routes
into the UK. I have neve read anything so
pathetic in my life in terms of intelligence
regardless of political position on the matter. People who write this should not
be journalists they should be in a home for
the deluded.

Don’t read it expecting any surprises…

Don’t read it expecting any surprises in its coverage of news or current affairs as it is very much an “establishment” paper despite its pretence of being the voice of radicalism. The paper also suffers from selective amnesia about its coverage of events such as the lead upto the 2003 Iraq War where it was much more equivocal about the invasion than you might suspect from its current rear view mirror account of the event. Whistleblowers might also want to be careful about using it to leak information given the way it shamefully grassed up Sarah Tisdall to the UK authorities in the 1980s. The one bright spot in the paper used to be the financial reporting under Larry Elliot who outlined the fact that the Blairite economy was built on sand well before the U.K. banking crisis of 2007-2008. Sadly he retired recently. The current paper is rather dull unless you agree with the fairly predictable opinions of its columnists.

Another paradox from this piece of Bog Roll

Another paradox from this piece of Bog roll.
Yet again their articles are trying to stop free speech - and this coming from a Newspaper?
The thick worms that run this garbage can’t see their stupidity!
Their blind Marxist views will se them shut down due to no sales very soon

Every time I come across something…

Every time I come across something written by the guardian! There’s always a begging note at the end asking for monthly donations! Have these people no self respect? Charities asking for money for charitable causes yes ! But professional people that choose to work for a newspaper that doesn’t sell! Is a disgraceful thing! You are not a charity champion! Stop begging

The Guardian - a far-left disgusting…

The Guardian is a far-left disgusting political rag. Like other far-left rags, their case of TDS is incurable and they are not worth 10-seconds of my time. Publications like this are not only struggling financially due to their overt biases in reporting but are just plain grinding to try to read.
