Media Bias Fact Check has them at center-left alignment and high factual credibility, like the Washington Post and Guardian.

State-funded journalism - people complain of using taxpayers’ money

Journalism funded by private interests - people complain of bias

Journalism funded by customers - people complain of clickbait to sell more rags

Not sure what your comment is supposed to indicate. That they disclosed a source of funding when most aren’t even bothered to?

They detail the work they did with that grant money here:

Looks like it built an AI editing assistant with Google News and Polis.

What specific point are you trying to make, here? Do you think a news organization should not be acquiring tech tools? Do you think that state-funded journalism matters, in this context, or do you just think those are good bogeyman words?

Come on, be proud of your opinions. Don't hide behind scare quotes and insinuations. Don't be a coward.

If that’s your opinion, I don’t think you know what actual leftism is.

Sure you were. That's why your comment history is full of far right US politics posts, including anti-immigration.

I live in Australia and US trends reach us within 5-10 years. As a (legal) immigrant myself I'm not at all anti-immigration, I'm anti-unauthorized-immigration and anti-below-reasonable-wage-immigration.

И да, я родился в совке и вырос в его смердящих останках, не думал, что мне придётся это доказывать какому-то херу из интернета, притом что мне абсолютно насрать, как он оценит моё, основанное на личном опыте, мнение.

For an australian from the soviet union, you sure do have strong opinions about teachers getting H1b visas in the US.

Being born somewhere doesn't automatically grant you instant knowledge. For example most people in the mediterranean have no idea about all the history of the roman empire.
Re:The US ambassador had Belgian police stop our reporting by jojobas on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @09:30AM (#48732516)
Those born in the actual roman empire and catching a glimpse of how awesome it was might have some clue right?
Re:The US ambassador had Belgian police stop our reporting by LtWorf on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @10:39AM (#48733340)
They could certainly tell you how they were doing, not really generic things about the entire empire no.

I don't think it qualifies you to judge the political spectrum in the UK as much as you think it does.
Re:The US ambassador had Belgian police stop our reporting by jojobas on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @06:33PM (#48740131)
You realize it's a global publication with localized editions right?
Re:The US ambassador had Belgian police stop our reporting by surgical_fire on Wednesday July 01, 2026 @04:46AM (#48743931)
Yes, I do.

Just neing born in USSR still gives no qualifications to qualify the Guardian within the political spectrum within the UK

They are social democrats and firmly left of centre. You won’t find anything remotely radical in the Grauniad.
Re:The US ambassador had Belgian police stop our reporting by jojobas on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @08:57AM (#48732098)
It might not be radical, but the spin is everywhere, whether they are talking about industry trends, current events or gardening.
Re:The US ambassador had Belgian police stop our reporting by kergonath on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @09:33AM (#48732554)
No, it’s not everywhere. Reporting is fair and accurate.
Re:The US ambassador had Belgian police stop our reporting by jojobas on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @06:35PM (#48740144)
Everything fitting the leftist agenda will be accurately reported and spun upon, anything not fitting will be ignored. On top of reporting, plenty of opinion matter will be delivered, making it hardly fair.
