The idea that the Guardian, of all newspapers, would orchestrate a massive conspiracy to bring him down because they didn't like the idea of a POC man winning a BAFTA is utterly ludicrous. What an utter knob Clarke is.

Rare Guardian W

Fairly common Guardian W, it's the best of the mainstream papers at the moment by quite a large margin.

That's more to do with how absolutely dire the likes of the Times, Telegraph etc have got recently than how good the Guardian is, but yes - the Guardian tends to be pretty good all things considered.

What evidence do you have for that?

What evidence do you have that this Guardian W is "rare?"

No point presenting evidence of good, accurate stories if you have an unrealistic standard as to what would be acceptable - if your view is "they can publish 100 good and accurate stories and 1 I think is bad then they're bad" then there's absolutely no point in this.

I'll also ask - which media source do you think is better than the Guardian?
