    Yes, it’s a mainstream center-left newspaper in the UK, definitely not fringe or a tabloid

      Yeah the guardian is a quality news source imo. One of the few good ones left in the world

        Well shit, my bad, i somehow got the Guardian and the daily mail mixed up.

        I still don’t think it’s editorial quality is great, but it’s not a tabloid by any stretch.

        The guardian is a tabloid rag with bigger words.

      Dang, was asking a question and discussing the way it has been presented to me and got buried, great discussion guys! Feeling like I’m back at home at Reddit :)

        Sorry, I was just answering your question and honestly didn’t mean it to sound agressive. English isn’t my native language so apologies if that came across as mean spirited, that wasn’t my intention

        These days it’s difficult to tell if it’s ragebait or trolling and some people here think things are obvious because we too live in an echo chamber, and some will just downvote and move on if they see something they disagree with or don’t like. I wouldn’t worry so much about downvotes here, you don’t get really buried like on Reddit and it doesnt matter overall (or at all). The Guardian is a very well known centre left newspaper that isn’t run by a large news corp, but that doesnt make it fringe, and tabloids are known for low effort journalism/gossip so it doesnt fit those categories. Either way, I hope you don’t get discouraged from contributing here if you are genuinely adding to the discourse. If you baitin then ya got me.

        no, you see you got your replies, which was “no, it’s not that”, which kinda ended the discussion right there and being uninteresting to most it got downvoted, nothing to be disappointed about.
