My elderly neighbours take the Telegraph and two doors down have the Mail - I sort out all their recycling for them, so shall give it a go!
(I suppose there you have it in a microcosm really. It's The Guardian reader who sorts out the recycling and takes the bins up the lane for the Telegraph & Mail readers, who are quite happy to let someone else do it for them.....)

Sorry to disappoint you but the stories covered were stories covered on other media, no big stories overlooked or not reported on, but don't give up your preconceived notions and bias because of this.

They may well have been covered on other media, but that on its own means very little. So what? Its what was concentrated on or any conclusion arrived at, which is the telling point, and let's be honest -you are not going to be too questioning, are you? It is your paper of choice.

Surely that would be The Morning Star?

True. In all seriousness though, I would recommend doing a critical thinking course/qualification, it may open your eyes to previously unseen bias.

So someone who is biased has told me to do a course in order to see unseen bias ? wow, just wow !

Yes, I have a bias, we all do. But that's a different matter to identifying it in news sources. It was a Genuine suggestion. Teaching critical thinking at school as a core subject would really open the eyes of the future electorate .. which is probably why they would never introduce it (plus it gives you a migraine).

But that is precisely the point. JC is biased, as he admits and as I am and we no secret of it - you pretend that what you are reading is totally objective; you pick up the paper, analyse what is written from a variety of angles, and then come to the conclusion that the left wing stance must be right.

I really don't understand how people think the Guardian is as guessed as the Daily Mail. Have you ever read it?
And yes, I have read the Daily Mail....... and the Express. Both laughable in their prejudices.
I was apprehensive, but I actually like it.
It's a lot easier to read on the train now, whereas with the previous format, whoever was sat next to me risked an accidental smack in the face when I tried opening it out or folding back a page; I was wrestling with the pages as much as reading them!
I'm also hoping that people who were previously intimidated by the idea of reading a 'poncey' broadsheet might be tempted to buy it now - an upmarket tabloid

How can you possibly be in a position to make such a sweeping judgement? You could not possibly know if that were true. You might want to believe that, but that alone does not make it fact.

Don't forget that Wikipedia does not accept Daily Mail articles as news stories as they're not considered accurate enough. That's not the case with the Guardian, Times, FT or Telegraph
No it's not. It treats people of all political persuasion as intelligent beings unlike the Mail which assumes all its readers are morons.

My friend, I made no comment about the DM and what you are quoting, is, I am sure, correct. That is not the issue here. The poster claimed that the Guardian would never make anything up, and quite evidently, that is a very sweeping statement, which could not possibly be proven. That is what i reacted to. No more, no less.
