Umm ... I don't think we get to give media outlets a free pass like that. Reporters used to ask these questions and get answers before they published.
Gushingly positive reporting about a topic that your reporters and/or your readership agree with is almost certainly part of the reason that only 25% of people trust journalists[0]. I suppose that's marginally more than than trust politicians (21%)... :)
"[The Guardian has] a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation [..]
Overall, we rate The Guardian Left-Center biased based on story selection that moderately favors the left and Mixed for factual reporting due to numerous failed fact checks over the last five years."

I'd never come across mediabiasfactcheck.com until a friend recently referred me to it over a source that I'd quoted which he claimed was biased :)
Full disclosure: I grew up in a household where The Guardian was on the breakfast table every day, and I still call up theguardian.com every morning. Either it's changed, or I've changed :(
