RantThe Guardian begging for money while claiming to be doing "rigorous, fact-based independent journalism"
I clicked on an article about the Trump administration war leaks and at the end there was a text by the Guardian before the usual "give us money" part that described how Trump is a danger to freedom of speech and they at the Guardian are doing
rigorous, fact-based independent journalism
The world’s most powerful man is using his office to punish journalistic organisations that won’t follow his orders or who report critically on his policies. Donald Trump’s actions against the press include bans, lawsuits and hand-picking his own pool of reporters. But the global threat against the press is bigger than just Trump. Economic and authoritarian forces around the globe are challenging journalists’ ability to report. An independent press, one that those in power can’t simply overrule, is crucial to democracy. Figures such as Trump want to crush it through exclusion and influence.
The Guardian is a global news organisation that will stand up to attacks on the free press. We have no interest serving those with immense power or immense wealth.
We are owned by an independent trust devoted only to protecting and defending our journalism. That means we don’t have a billionaire owner dictating what our reporters can cover or what opinions our columnists can have, or shareholders demanding a quick return.
Are they fucking serious? They are the same news site that spent the past years writing the most ridiculous fact-free articles on transgenderism, no doubt firing anyone who criticised the TQ. I'm so tired of leftist news sites and leftist people in general now pretending to be against censorship as if they haven't been cancelling anyone who dared to acknowledge biological reality. NOW they claim we're living in orwellian times where "tech barons" control social media, but they were perfectly content back when Twitter and Facebook was controlled by TRAs and your account was suspended if you called a man a man.
