The fact that they have a detectable "stance on issues" is exactly the reason to call their neutrality and independence into question.

Humans are going to have a stance because they are human. Do you want to wait until there is an unbiased AI that can do journalism or do you want something that's ok now?

Perfect is the enemy of good and all that.

Media has always had a view, hence the editorial section. IMHO Having a guiding principle or view doesn’t mean the guardian is under influence

Whether they do this out of their own conviction or due to external influence is ultimately secondary. The Guardian is taking a clear side in the culture war and subjects her reporting to it. Check out their reporting on topics like race, immigration, gender relations, or the Middle East.
