This is a normal post Given that I just said I like the majority of the content
I guess that is a personal insult. More importantly though, what would you consider the bastion of integrity when it comes to reporting?

This is a normal post A Guardian reader? Engaging in whataboutery?
Now I've heard it all.

This is a normal post I know you're proud of being a twat on here
But given the rant about the Guardian website and its users, is it really whataboutery to ask what alternative website someone would suggest using instead of the one they just ranted about?

(I am not expecting an intelligent answer from either of you)

This is a normal post You're harping on about how much you love The Guardian, and I'm the twat.

This is a normal post And you continue to evade the question
of what you consider to be the bastion of integrity when it comes to reporting.

This is a normal post You question is based on a false premise.
When did I ever state or imply that such a 'bastion of integrity' in 'reporting' exists? How was that article reportage? It was a first person single source account published entirely uncritically. Is that reporting?

This is a normal post It's not "reporting"
It's the Experiences column in the Life & Style section. It's not meant to be hard-hitting journalism, or even just professional journalism. They solicit stories which are then submitted by not-journalists, and the "best ones" are picked by the editorial team for publication every Friday.

This is a normal post So why are chinchilla and fish using the term 'bastion of integrity in reporting' when discussing this article?

This is a normal post Because they're conflating "journalism" with "some other stuff our core readership will lap up something fierce"?
I do like the Grauniad's actual journalism, like actual news articles about things that actually fucking matter, but the sideshow stuff they rightfully get ripped for to either pad out the print edition or to go fishing for clicks does absolutely nothing for me.

This is a normal post Is Carole Cadwalladr your favourite actual journalist?
My favourite actual journalist is Owen Jones.

This is a normal post Excuse me, can I just point out
My whole original post was that the Guardian website is getting more and more full of Horseshite.
Mr Penis ranted insultingly about the content of the whole site (and readers), and I asked him for his alternative, that's the entire sensible discussion, and it died out pretty quickly.
Prufrock separately being a twat unable to use words like "whataboutery" correctly or understanding concepts like "Guardian website" or "when the sun is shining" is pretty much a given. And since he somehow seems to link "horseshite" with "love" I can only assume he is a coprophilic weirdo. Which doesn't surprise me.

This is a normal post I realise you "can't be bothered to waste any more effort on this" but the puerile ad hominems you have plenty of time for.

This is a normal post You weren't replying to me, but you were insulting me by name.
Are all Guardian fanboys this catty and brittle?

This is a normal post Yes, you are
Since my original post was "I do still like The Guardian but it's being filled more and more with utter horseshite"

This is a normal post How could you ever like the Grauniad?

This is a normal post Jay Rayner's restaurant reviews. The Observer, but same website, for a start
But I can't be bothered to waste any more effort on this, on such a nice day.

This is a normal post Your defence of the Guardian amounts to the restaurant critic of the Observer because it's the same website
There's no arguing with that.
 (I helped save b3ta! Prufrock Lucifer, son of the morning!, Sat 24 Aug 2019, 13:06, Reply)
This is a normal post Your apparent inability to read makes this argument utterly pointless. Not replying after this
The silliest thing of all was that I was originally going to reply to your first post with something like "yes, the guy is a knob, but the Guardian can get even worse than that at times, still best of a bad bunch though."
Hope you got out to enjoy the sunshine like I did.

This is a normal post It's a relief to know you can't be bothered to waste any more effort on this.

This is a normal post Have you not seen all those passionate gentlemen on the youtubes?
They're independent journalists, so they're free from bias and all external influences, it's incredible.
