Darren
Allen, author of the Apocalypedia, offers both an insightful overview
of the Guardian, and his thoughts on some issues the Guardian would
prefer you didn't think about too deeply.
A taster from Darren Allen's article:
Murray McDonald, in his Hidden History of the Guardian, explains that
The Guardian was launched to undermine working-class leaders of the
early 19th century reform movement (whose members were massacred at
Peterloo), and during its 150 year history has denounced Ireland’s
freedom fighters, Women Suffragettes, Abraham Lincoln’s campaign to end
slavery, third world nationalism and pretty much any kind of genuine
independence from the system. It supported Tony Blair, even when the
worst of his crimes were known and continues to give him uncritical
space, it regularly presents official pronouncements as news, regularly
disguises adverts for its corporate sponsors as news and regularly finds
time to pour bile on Jeremy Corbyn, Julian Assange, Medialens and Noam
Chomsky.
