The Guardian considers their free speech very important, too. For example, almost all of the UK press is regulated by IPSO which (amongst other things) enforces accuracy standards. Except the Guardian. They've consistently refused to join because they think those restrictions on the press should only apply to the other lying publications who just so happen to have political views that don't agree with theirs. I discovered this after they published a really astounding partisan whopper about a London terror attack right before the UK election - one which was not only completely untrue and debunked all over the place, but was something being spread by their preferred party as part of an explicit attempt to politicise the attack against the ruling Tories. They didn't care to correct this, and given their position that independent regulation was only for the other papers there was nothing that could be done about this.
