I'm surprised at all the love for the Guardian... It's better than nearly all the rest, sure, but it's still often outrage-bait or inaccurate information. Media bias / Fact check give them a rating of 'Mixed' on accuracy: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-guardian/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-guardian/
I had a free subscription to the Financial Times through a weird cookie misshap, and I was impressed by the quality of the reporting and the fact they were happy to shoot down corporations behaving unethically, which I hadn't a priori expected.

- FabHK 2y agoIn my view, both the FT and The Economist are better, more balanced, more centrist, and less conservative/neoliberal than many people give them credit for.

- justincormack 2y agoThe FT is definitely the best UK paper. Expensive.
- cma 2y agoMediabiasfactcheck is run by someone on the Council of Foreign Relations fwiw. While their Foreign Affairs publishes stuff critical of US policy, they are heavily America biased.
