last time I went to the guardian’s website it didn’t even autocomplete for me as I started to type it in. Realised I hadn’t visited it in about a year. Felt good, man.

So does everyone hate The Guardian now?

I thought it was the only vaguely left-wing newspaper left with an anti-Brexit stance. If you don’t read The Guardian then what do you read?The Mirror?

I probably read The Guardian more than any other paper but, like many of the comments in this thread I find myself poking fun at how milquetoast and contrarian some of the articles are.

Would totally be up for a thread about guardian highlights mind.

They should just bin opinion pieces altogether and concentrate on, y’know, news and that.

i follow lots of Irish and Scottish tourism pages so my feed is full of lovely city and landscape photos (as well as guitars and bands and all that)

not sure why i only follow the Irish and Scottish ones. i guess it’s not like England or Wales have anything to offer.

Actually I remember when I last went on the site there were loads of Brexit trolls on the comments section (during that horrible week leading up to the referendum). Was pretty weird.

I thought lots of people stopped reading it because it became slightly anti-Corbyn.

If I’d given up all anti Corbyn media sources over the last couple of years, I’d be left getting my news from The Morning Star and Another Angry Voice.

The Guardian is okay if you ignore most comment and lifestyle pieces. Still does some decent journalism at times.

aye, they’re quite good for news and culture, it’s mainly just the opinion pieces that are baffling.

They’ve certainly published a lot of anti-Corbyn stuff, but equally a lot that’s pro-Corbyn, e.g. Gary Younge from a few days ago: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jan/19/corbyn-lead-momentum-labour-ladder-leftwing

Not sure what their actual editorial line is at the moment, though Wikipedia says they supported Cooper over Corbyn in 2015 (and the Lib Dems in 2010 due to electoral reform policies).

Basically only ever read opinion pieces or the comments section in any paper if you want to make yourself angry.

A mate of mine does TV stuff for them and while I am biased he is obviously good and that side of things is generally great.

You’re advocating the wonton destruction of capitalism, I presume?

Sounds good.

D ancona tries to have an opinion for once and unwittingly reveals what a piece of shit he is, eek!

Peterson is one of the most eclectic and stimulating public intellectuals at large today, fearless and impassioned…in his application of clinical psychology to sensitive social dilemmas, and his critique of postmodernism and neo-Marxism in academia.

I don’t understand how the quote you’ve pulled out supports/proves your point about d’Ancona

#467

Neo Marxism!

#468

Because Jordan Peterson is neither eclectic nor stimulating and only a moron or a piece of shit would think he is.

Bold words. Not sure how the charge of him not being eclectic holds. I don’t find Peterson particularly stimulating, but I don’t think finding him so (if you’re into that sort of thing) makes you automatically bad.
