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

For those who want to exist in a continuous state of moral indignation about the world

I used to read the Guardian and I don’t think my politics have changed all that much, but now the newspaper is just moral pornography for the smug self-righteous. The readers want to be fed stories (and I mean stories, not news) that confirm their moral superiority and feed their need for a continuous state of moral indignation about the world. As such the negativity actually does harm to the UK and it’s spite and vitriol against government (I mean government, not THE government) becomes repetitious and nauseating. The editors and journalists need to take a long hard look at themselves and ask if they are adding or subtracting from human well-being in the UK.

Utter trash

The paper that broke Snowden leaks becomes a mouthpiece of Israeli apartheid in just a few short years. Thank you Viner, thank you Crerar for your undeservedly snobby, tabloid gutter journalism. Shame on you.

Don't subscribe via iTunes

Don't subscribe via iTunes. If you do you can only access it on IOS devices, as I subsequently found out. This should be explained to customers - is it even legal?? Customer service totally unwilling to help - it would have been cheaper for them (after 4 chats) to refund me or transfer me to a multi platform subscription (I assume this exists). Am trying together my money back through apple - wish me luck.

Agree with the 1* reviews on here

Agree with the 1* reviews on here. They have an agenda and will follow it to the letter.

Their recent review on the 3rd September, is just typical of what you get. A serious film, dealing with the most abhorrent subject of child sex trafficking. Talking the film down, when really this subject, should have the full light of day applied to it.

Trotting out the tired old mantra of conspiracy theorist, Christian bashing and determined to water down its message to the world. You The Guardian, really are well and truly part of the gutter press.

Excellent quality

Excellent quality of investigative journalism with well-written articles and reports. The graphics are superb and I regularly use them in my teaching. The source materials are also clearly stated, which is very important to me. It's good to see journalism held to such a high standard at the Guardian, especially in this worrying post-truth era.

so biased

so biased, it's insane how they always have to speak ill of anything more right-wing than the extreme left. they hire young dumb anti-social hysterical narcissists who are obsessed with sexism, racism and transphobia is all they talk about and they think they're woke or progressive. utter trash, a divisive and hateful newspaper

One of the absolute worst pieces of…

One of the absolute worst pieces of media you could possibly endure reading. After countless articles that haven't cited their sources (if they've even had any) I've had to source the material they've briefly mentioned only to find they have had at best been misleading and more likely, straight up lied. This has happened time and time again.

The final straw was reading an article claiming the movie 'Sound of Freedom' was QAnon related and then a whole bunch of follow up lies about the movie which by the way is absolutely brilliant. This is mirrored in the almost 1900+ 5 star ratings out of the 2000 it's received on metacritic. This is just one example of their ideology pushing 'news'.

Like Vice and other now hyper left media, The Guardian will die off as more and more people wake up to the notion this organisation is run by ideology pushing cretins. They no longer write news articles, instead they just publish opinion pieces under the guise of news. It's one of the most disgraceful media organisations still running. Avoid if you actually want to read anything reminiscent of unbiased news.

The Guardian used to be okay once upon a time but now is a hot-bed of leftist propaganda. I work in the environmental sector (water resources management & research) and whenever there is an article about environmental issues they just lie through their teeth about most of it. I assume they do the same no matter the topic. Basically a waste of space these days.

Be aware: This tabloid supports far-left extremism and paedophilia

A Communist (far left extremist) Ash Sarkar, said insensitive and arguably vile rhetoric about people that died in the Oceangate submersible.

The Guardian happily employ her as a columnist, as they have other far left extremists in the past.

This tabloid also called a film based on factual events of child sex trafficking "right wing propaganda" and "conspiracy theory". Note the film even included real footage within of the topic it tackles. But the Guardian tried to pretend it was not real, which helps child sex traffickers and paedophiles. (Abuse of minors and 'MAP' is strongly linked to far left ideology).

This tabloid is very harmful and everyone should warn those they know of its ill political leaning - that it supports a regime that massacred 100 million people. As well as the trafficking of children in the sex trade.
