Yep. I bookmarked The Guardian about 3-4 years ago and really enjoyed a lot of what they put out but about two years ago I began to realize just how tilted they were. I'm not sure if it was them or me that changed most but I suspect it was them. I quit tuning into CNN and MSNBC about 4 years ago and back then I recall The Guardian seemed quite balanced in comparison.
It was during our elections last year that they leaned too far for me to take them seriously as a real journalistic endeavor and I scrapped the bookmark because they were wasting my time.
It wasn't easy though. I really wanted to make a donation and support their stated mission of being truly independent news provider, but I just couldn't because they're not. They have a very clear agenda that's promoted with a left wing tilt but really only supports a different group of corporatists than the right.
I will not subsidize that, and that's really what they're asking from us.
- desas 10y agoWhen they say independent they mean or outside influence and political parties, they absolutely intend to always follow their British liberal tradition. They don't hide this.

- delhanty 10y agoThe editor changed from Alan Rusbridger to Katharine Viner in summer 2015: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/mar/20/guardian-appoints-katharine-viner-new-editor-in-chief https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/mar/20/guardian-appoi... IMO, around that time the editorial policy changed noticably too.
- oblib 9y agoThat makes sense. I was not aware of that so thank you for pointing it out.
