Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

The guardian is far from flawless, but it's one of the best news sources that we have available in the Anglosphere by an increasing margin—yes I'm including the BBC in that given everything that followed Mr Cameron's changes to the charter in 2015.
Agreed. I think its the top tier news outlet which has relevance, neutrality. And arent about paywalls. Are there any other news sources on the same level?
BBC wont back Theroux doc, fuck them genocide enablers.
I have the Guardian and Telegraph, I am let down constantly by all the "benefit sponge" headlines and paragraphs. So much bigger fish to fry.
The Telegraph has been Tory fan fiction since about the same time as the BBC changes. Loads of scandals of them taking money from shady places to print favourable news for the questionable people in the world and turn the other way when the Tories do something shitty.
They even beat the all time biggest liar, the Daily fucking Mail in the annual making shit up awards recently (IPSO factuality violations where they are forced to issue corrections)
It's been pure propaganda for a good while now
Agreed, its a shame because they have great material in the midst of that noise. Their Ukraine coverage is unparralleled.
Seems like they werent willing to roll the dice on this one.
😐
They chose their horse on this
That's a step in the good direction
Nice try, Guardian social media team. I'm still not giving you my dollarbucks.
The Guardian is also the one has a journalist that agreed to meet with Snowden.
Sonia Sodha is still a contributor to The Guardian and is a massive TERF. The Guardian is one of the better news outlets in the UK, but so long as they give her a platform, fuck them.
Why should we know this?
Because The Guardian is using the article written by The Guardian about what good people The Guardian are to raise money for The Guardian. :P
Yes, yes, we get it. Everyone and everything is always bad all the time and nothing can be just a good thing. You're addicted to outrage.
Nah, it's more that the answer to 'why is doing this?' is virtually always 'because money'. People forget that sometimes.
