What do you mean they are in the red? Are you talking about their financial situation?

  He is probably referring to the fact that the Guardian newspaper does not make a profit ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian ). It's not relevant, as I'm sure that George Monbiot does not care about this, the Guardian is aware of it, and none of these parties would give a flying feather what spindritf's opinion on this topic is.

    Same with The Times and Independent. The Telegraph is the only national non-tabloid newspaper in the UK that makes a profit. http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2013/may/24/telegraphmediagroup-barclay-brothers http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2013/may/24/tele...

    I guess this "they're not even making money, so nyah!" attitude is an appeal to the authority of a supposed efficient marketplace. Taken to absurdity, it works like this: A: "Simone Weil was an influential philosopher." B: "Ah, but did she get rich with her writing? No? Then Ayn Rand was clearly more influential."

    Especially since he doesn't seem to have an opinion on anything relevant to the extremely important change the article brings to light, but would rather discuss the editorial quality of the article itself. An analogy would be people on the sinking Titanic discussing the poor command of the english language by those lads who asked them to get in the boats.
