the Guardian Avis 

A shadow of its former self.
45 years of reading The Guardian, I just can’t get my head around how poor the level of journalism has become since Katherine Viner took over the editorship. Click-bait and ‘lifestyle’ lists with a virulent anti-Starmer twist, with the editor’s husband writing mindless dross as the cherry on top.
So many lifetime Guardian readers I talk to are in a profound state of dislocation at the disappearance of a paper that has been a tent pole in their intellectual lives.
But whatever you do, don’t write critical comments in their comments section, because you’ll be banned, seemingly for life.
The Scott trust created an environment to push challenging, intellectual journalism. Instead we get lifestyle tripe and ‘10 best knee-length socks’ articles.
There’s a major European war going on, and all we get is ripped from the wires, little to no first hand reporting, but we do get three days of Jeff Bezos’ wedding.
After all these years I have to cancel my subscription, and it breaks my heart.

Death of a great newspaper ! No better than a tabloid desperately trying to get click bait. Like any AI algorithm it appeals to its readwership of not very bright PC intellectual snobs (these give a 5 star rating!) no better than the daily mail except for hippies with equal zero tolerance to other view points (BBC and Reuters have followed the same unfortunate path)

Once the great liberal (free thinking challenging all viewpoints) stalwart. Now a pathetic rag no better than a tabloid for people with superiority complexes

The guardian ignores the important news and gives a very distorted view of what it does cover. To make matters worse, they make it difficult to to cancel a subscription. 7 months after I emailed and phoned to cancel my subscription they were still taking payments!

Promoting far left extremism.. really sad to see

The negative 1-stars reviews here look like a far-right Trump and Putin action fabricated by their followers. Similar you can see with other independent media who are not part of that gang.
The Guardian is a relief in a swamp of fakes and syccophants.

It's the equivalent of the Daily Mail, for leftists. Tries to paint itself as a little more highbrow, but ultimately, it's an opinion rag.
Ground news is the place to be.

I'd just like The Guardian to know that as a reader and subscriber for many years I'm thinking of stopping my subscription. I don't know what they've done to the format but it has really spoiled my daily interaction with the site. I feel as though I'm scrolling for page after page so much so that my finger aches! It's really tiring to navigate now. I wish they'd consider having a subscriber vote to see if they want to keep this or go back to the much more user friendly format.

In a sea of fake news and oligarchy-controlled news outlets, The Guardian is still my go-to.

I'd give it zero stars if I could. I used to be able to do the crosswords offline, away from home: a very useful feature of the "old" app. With the "new" app this is no longer available. Calling the new app an "improvement" stretches credulity beyond Orwellian Newspeak.

Firstly, I like the Guardian as although a left of centre newspaper, it's not frightened of critisising Labour etc.
My issue is them increasing their annual subscription by 50%.
So I cancelled and they had the cheek to shorten my remaining subscription by 2 weeks because they allegedly gave me a 2 week trial in 2020.

Please go back to old home page New version is awful

Poor customer service. Not impressed with the cost of the subscription. I didn't like the center-left publication. UK vs US, I'll find a US publication instead!!

It is one of the best and non-biased news sites on the internet. All the negative comments from the far right are proof of the quality. Keep up the good work.

Gotta laugh at some of the anti-left commentary here. Journalism does not mean 'reporting both sides' and there is always bias of some sort. Guardian in this respect is no better or worse than most other mainstream newspapers. There are some very poor articles promoting what they like to describe as 'woke ideology', for sure - but there are also some good articles and good coverage of important issues. And yes, I have been reading The Guardian for decades. It's not perfect, but it is worth reading for sure.

I find a lot of interesting information and well-written articles.

constructive journalism with a heart that cuts into the truth.

Of the four daily online papers that I read, The Guardian has always come through as the most informative, and most centered.

Horrible! Really vile!

The first place I go for news every day. This and public service in Scandinavia are the news outlets I compare.

I often find stories on the Guardian in a search on the internet when I don't easily find them elsewhere. Today was one of those times. The articles are always well-written and fairly thorough.
