How reputable/reliable is the Guardian?

Post by feral witchchild » Sun Jul 18, 2010 12:32 pm

(As a source of information.)

Just wondering because of {REMOVED}

I'm hoping one of you will tell me that this is complete bullshit.

Pretty respectable in relation to most newspapers, but...

Why post an article from the year 2000?

Why post it on a Dubstep forum?

Why?

Compared to most papers over here, from what I've read, its more reliable then most. That's the best way to put it.

Good question.

Like I said in the original post, though, I was mainly just hoping you guys would tell me that the Guardian is on some tabloid bullshit...

I dunno, it was a weak reaction on my part. I...guess I don't really want to accept that all of this could be based in fact.

Sorry if that ruined your day, I didn't really consider that it could do that for people before I posted it. I edited my post. :/

Guardian has traditionally been the newspaper of choice for students... it's a pretty good paper. Not particularly radical or anything, but broad thinking generally...


What was the article?!

guardian is the traditional left/liberal centered UK newspaper. the times uk is the tory/conservative soapbox. the evening standard tend to run down the middle.

The Evening Standard is a bit more reactionary than The Time, tbh. The Times tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to controversy, so it's not really a 'soapbox'... The Daily Mail is more your soapbox paper. Horrible. Telegraph is for real Tories who really just want to know how their investments are getting on, how Hampshire did against Middlesex and whether the charming Mexicans down the street can stay, because their son is doing a wonderful job with the lawns.

I wouldn't rate it's reviews to highly but in terms of news, I doubt there's better. I read somewhere they have the most number of Gag orders on them. Also some of their writers contribute analytical reports on wikileaks documents.

That's probably the best description of the Telegraph I've ever read! :lol:

I read the Guardian Online, very rarely, the Guardian paper itself, but don't read any other newspapers.

I find the news reporting tends to be as accurate impartial as you're gonna find here, and the opinions of the writers tend to either reflect my own, or generally be so sarcastic even if the views aren't agreed, they still get a laugh out of me.

My mate gets all the big british papers and the Guardian has the hardest Sudoku puzzles of them all, no joke.
