If you told me the Guardian was mostly AI generated after being trained on progressive writings and WH press releases I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest

Is this because you don't read The Guardian and would opt to blindly believe the first thing said about it?

I read articles quite regularly. They are almost always heavily partisan, spuriously sourced and have been on the wrong side of major stories for years

Let's hear that awesome, alternative, unbiased news source

There's no need, criticism of one thing does not require endorsement of an alternative. The Guardian deserves every rotten fruit and compressed fecal mass thrown at it.

I'm confused. (1) You read it regularly. (2) Then you say: "heavily partisan, spuriously sourced and have been on the wrong side of major stories for years".

It seems strange to read a newspaper regularly that is so bad.

What do you recommend instead?

For a second there I thought it was throwaway responding to his own comment. I loved him for one second!

I regularly read both sides of a story to avoid getting polarised. And by doing and avg of each side’s views i might find the truth. But the guardian has a heavy fetish for poverty porn and stereotyping making it difficult to digest. A bit like the dailymail but with less useful content and more racial tension.
