    The guardian is three tabloids in a trenchcoat.

    They don’t generally outright lie, but unbiased journalism it is not.

    To be clear, the interview was a shitshow, I’m just saying you’ll need to manage your expectations about journalistic quality when reading the guardian.

      Thanks for your Input! Your Analogy makes perfect sense to me and gave me a good chuckle^^

      I‘m not too familiar with the guardian but I do remember reading some Articles of great journalistic Quality.

      I learned that it is marked as an „Opinion Piece“ but how can you value the opinion of a Journalist you do not know?

      they do clearly separate their reporting and commentary though, they always indicate on page in print and online that it is a comment not a report (literally the first word on this page is “Opinion”)

        They do yes, this is clearly marked as an opinion piece.

        What i was trying to convey is to not expect stellar journalism, opinion or otherwise, from a media source that has built it’s readership on sensationalism and tabloid shenanigans.

        That is of course, just my personal opinion.
