The Guardian calling YouTube out for distorting truth? This is the pot calling the kettle black.

The guardian certainly has a strong editorial position, but I've never found its' reporting to be anything other than honest, well researched, and written with integrity.

I think that they believe what they write with a high level of conviction, which is more than you can say for some of the more egregious videos floating around on YouTube.

The Guardian plays with heavy distortions, biased selective reporting, and dishonest ideological clickbait tactics all the time.

You got to be kidding me. If you think the guardian has integrity then it's because you agree with their viewpoints.

They have no more integrity than foxnews does.

It's ridiculous how much certain news organizations get on a "hacker" forum.
