I can know that The Guardian is blatantly awful.

  Then why not simply say that, instead of a snide sideways comment? I mean, there's enough of the trope about the "Daily Fail" where the corresponding sarcasm would be "since they wrote about it, I no longer believe food exists." So, just be clear and say what you mean about The Guardian. But instead of expressing your blanket dismissal, you imply that one (or a small number) of failures causes you to be deeply distrustful of everything they publish - even for an article which gives enough citations that you can double-check them yourself. Thus, your comment came across not as honest criticism, but as someone with a poor ability to judge veracity.
