So two articles going completely against the Guardian's general editorial stance and this is something they frequently do on any political subject - and one of them jointly done by MPs from two opposing parties. I think your view about the paper is fairly typical but completely wrong. Can you come up with a better example of impartiality or fairness? How about that Mail front page in the Boris thread. Impartial? |

Even in the Guardian there is a range of political leaning. Very few writers would not find Corbyn sufficiently left wing, in fact maybe none. C4 is reassuringly consistent in its views which I would say are "leftish." The Beeb seems to try very hard to present a neutral political view, despite being staffed by many on the left. Considering the counterweight of the Telegraph, Mail and Express, I don't think it's a problem.

I dont think you can get anymore left wing than Corbyn! Thats my point about the Guardian.... yes there are counterweights, but not really an impartial newspaper....they all carry opinions instead of just the news.

They carry both. News and opinions. Depends which parts you read, but given the quality of the opeds in the Guardian, I can see why someone might just stick to those.

I just pointed you in the direction of two articles - one by a regular guardian columnist advocating accepting Boris' deal and another co-written by someone on the political right also arguing to accept Boris' deal, while the general guardian stance is against it. Brexit; in or out? and they are arguing both for and against. Can you get more even handed? Are you just not bothering to look because you're worried you'll have to change your opinion? |

I am talking about journalism not politicians..... Trump is very right wing, and is an idiot in general so is not a good representation at all. An uneducated buffoon..
The BBC have always been left wing biased.....just ask Peter Sissons he wrote a book about it! |

Consequences of the many examples, past and present, of liberal Ministers demonstrating that they were entitled to their entitlements.....
Should Trudeau go too? Personally, I believe he should. |

Should Trudeau go too? Personally, I believe he should. Trudeau inherited his position, a bit like the Queen, and I can see why people might not care for that. However, the leader of the opposition embezzled funds to support his children's participation in a cult and still has his job. A Conservative government would be more corrupt, not less, than a Liberal one, so it's not obvious how that would be better. In any event, financial corruption is an accepted feature of government in Canada, Chretien, Mulrooney, Harper, all had their fingers in the till. We have to look at their record on other matters in order to choose between them. |
