me: falls about laughing
It's a middle of the road, deeply middle-class newspaper.
Edit: I don't normally worry about downvotes, but if anyone thinks of The Guardian as a hotbed of Marxist-Leninism, then they have never read it.
- NovemberWhiskey 5y agoI mean, it's not the Morning Star, but it's definitely left-leaning.
- zabzonk 5y agoSlight difference between "left-leaning" (so that middle-class folks can feel good about themselves on their staycations in the Cotswolds) and "hard-left". I'm not particularly running down the middle-classes (I think that they are often something of a force for good, and I am one of them myself) but I don't think that reading the Grauniad (sic) turns us into Che Guevaras.
- robocat 5y agoHa ha - agree - yeah it is definitely left, but I shouldn’t have used the word “hard”. Anyway, no-one seems to comment that the Grauniad seems to lack balance in its articles on the US. Or perhaps it is just the bias of what gets commented on on HN.
