MODERATORS
I am enjoying being able to observe this story from the beginning, before the media started writing about it. It's been an interesting few weeks.
Also there is no moral high ground for The Guardian as an evil corp to comment on the Reddit dumpster fire
They are literally the only UK daily newspaper not owned by some rich owner or conglomerate, and about the only newspaper (along with the observer) that does not publicly support one of the two main political parties.
And 2018 study found the guardian was by far the most trusted of the uk daily's, and second only to the bbc as a news source https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2018/10/30/western-europeans-under-30-view-news-media-less-positively-rely-more-on-digital-platforms-than-older-adults/
but yes, im a Guardian reader so maybe biased. but theres a reason I read them, and not another.
How are they evil? After doing a google search to see how they perform as a news organization, I’m genuinely curious about your viewpoint.
One of the few not owned by a rich proprietor, iirc?
This is what I noticed as well. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but they seem to have the appearance of being as unbiased as NPR, AP, or BBC.
They are essentially liberal, if a little left sided of centre, but I think they are the only UK newspaper that does not publicly support any political parties.
I would not say that NPR has the appearance of being unbiased. I think everyone I know considers it mild- to moderately-biased on the liberal side.
Interesting. If it’s not too personal, do the majority of people you know lean left or right?
I think most the people who I know either lean liberal or libertarian, with a few right leans.
So what do you consider not-evil? Tell us.
