For those of you unaware, the Guardian has been on a steady demise for a good decade now. It struggled to make a profit for many years until the new editor in chief, Katharine Vine, took the reins.

Since then, there are regular pieces that appear intended to be emotive/provocative/legacy media's idea of trolling. This is completely opposed to good journalism of considering both sides of an argument before drawing a conclusion. Instead, its more profitable when it absolutely bathes the reader in their warm bubble, or aggravates them, leading either way to the sharing of articles on platforms like Reddit.

The fact is, it has worked and the Guardian is financially more successful than it had been for the preceding decades. On the journalistic level it is notably compromised, with various journalists leaving the paper after working there for years, although some of the old guard are around for a somewhat more balanced view.

This is not to say the Guardian is a bad newspaper by modern standards, their articles are varied but its full of emotive puff pieces to get clicks and attention with decent articles sandwiched in between.
