What's your most irritating bit of The Guardian?

There’s a article on exactly what you mention in terms of misinformation, this time on migration. I’m willing to believe the same on the standard of living too.

Briefly returning to what (financially) underpins The Guardian, it appears that the Scott Trust Endowment Find is estimated to worth £1.3bn..It permits Guardian Media Group to draw down £25-40m a year to offset operating losses from the newspaper. It must be one of the most well endowed media organisations in the world (and I say that with respect!).

Creating the Scott Trust was in retrospect a work of genius. It was originally done to avoid the closure of the paper due to the high rate of death duties but ended up securing the papers independent future.

I would suggest a minimum of 5 different sources for true objectivity.

We have had a house here for nearly 20-years, but it was only in 2018 it became our permanent residence when I got the boot; too old and too expensive…. a month later “can you do some consulting “ “nah”.

We recently had a 0.5% rise in the commune’s population; a baby was born.

Every morning I read online, The Guardian, The Times, i newspaper, Independent.

For rational news it’s The FT. And the NYT.

Then for humour, the lamentably poor DT, and sometimes the comic called the Daily Mail.

But, every fortnight I receive the print edition of Private Eye.

The interesting news items in the Eye are often reported in the other “ news comics” usually 6 to 8 weeks later.

It’s an example of the changing times in which we live.

The computer tablet age has caused many Newspapers to have a presentation model , matching the low concentration abilities of many readers. I read an article this weekend, describing how the first chapters in some novels were being amended to entice reading the book to low attention readers .

I still find solace in listening to the radio.

Every morning the traffic reports from the UK give me a smile - no longer my annoyance.

You must be a super speed reader, or have absolutely nothing else to do. :astonished_face:

I don’t read any newspapers, after I am finished here half the day is already gone. :rofl:
