    The Guardian is just the opposite of the Mail.

    Wouldn't believe the date on either of them.

    I like The Guardian, and usually buy it on a Saturday. It has some excellent writers, a decent sports section, but as yet no LGBT section.

    If you are seriously comparing it in any way to the Mail, I can only assume you have never read it?

    By which I assumed you meant equally dishonest and deliberately misleading, only from opposite ends of the political spectrum?

    They're not. The Guardian is liberal for a start, not left wing, and it doesn't purposely set out to provoke extreme reactions in it's readers. It doesn't demonise any group or attempt to scapegoat anybody, nor does it prey on the fear and ignorance of it's readers.

    So they are only opposites in the sense that one is utter **** while the other is not.

    The Guardian has baiting articles all the time.

    Usually on gender or race and it's the white guy who's obviously the faller.

    It's a dishonest rag, same as the Mail.

    As I say, you sound like someone who has never read it.

    How is it dishonest? They're opinion pieces by writers ffs <doh>

    You honestly cannot compare the Guardian and the Mail.

    To be honest, every Guardian reader I've ever met has turned out to be an utter ballbag.

    Anyway, who needs newspapers when you've got GC, eh?

    You may laugh but I've known high profile corporate people to already be following the non gender specific route in briefings.

    They refer to ppl purely by their name rather than any mention of gender, he, him, her, she....just first name.
