It’s the Guardian these days: Content is Free. It would be interesting and probably quite instructive to look over the archives post-2010 & 2015 elections to gauge the tone of the paper at those times.

Not a single named source, and a piece of gossip becomes a 20-paragraph article. This is the skill of the dung beetle. There’s a lot to be concerned about with this new government, they are just people after all and don’t possess perfect judgment, but the Guardian/Observer just hit a new low.
