I have to agree, the Guardian has degenerated substantially. I think the stuff on the Panama papers is good, but a lot of the content seems to be loony-leftie territory, and very divisive.

Then there's the constant undercurrent of finger-wagging superiority.

The right-wing UK press have a superiority complex too, which I'd describe more as arrogant than finger-wagging. I'd generally rather read the guardian than most of the rest, but TBH in this day and age I'd be happy enough to watch them all sink without a trace.

Long live the BBC. Now if they can just clone David Attenborough and get the clones to read the news and pretty much any other factual programs, we'd be on to a winner.




It's certainly not perfect, but I'll take it over the rest of what's on offer the vast majority of the time.

And 14 years is a long old time...

FWIW I agree with the findings in that piece, the BBC were too shy about holding the government to account during the buildup to the Iraq war.


Me too, I will use BBC for most news.

14 years is long but the power dynamic hasn't changed: they still rely on the government's blessing in one way or another.
