Need a laugh?

Then read this bullshit. Part of the Grauniad's begging bowl plea for funds.

"Millions of readers around the world are flocking to the Guardian in search of honest, authoritative, fact-based reporting that can help them understand the biggest challenge we have faced in our lifetime"



The Grauniad - about the same level of unbiased reporting as the Pravda of old, the Daily Mirror and the Socialist Worker.

Stepping aside from the morass of Rightish bias, The guardian is highly rated for accuracy and reliability.
Yes, some (but by no means all) of its writers are on the Left but given the opposition, that is just as well. Does anyone with a functioning brain want the only source of opinion and news to be only from the Right?
I wager many who sneer at it have never read it.

I suspect all papers would make the same claim of being "honest, authoritative, fact-based"

But most would be lying.

Indeed. Personally I tend to read papers and their online reports with an attempt to filter out the bias, instead trying to focus on what actually happened rather than the journo's interpretation.

You know the Guardian has left wing tendencies before you click on it, so you know where you stand. Honest? yes, more than most.
