The Guardian - A short thread/rant 🧵

I used to think that the Guardian was a decent left wing newspaper, didn't you?

Then, finally, we got the left wing leader that many of us had hoped and dreamed for, @jeremycorbyn

It's then I realised that @guardian was actually a lie.

Between 2016 - 2019 they 1/5

published 1,215 articles ripping into Corbyn, citing antisemitism in every single one.

Yet weirdly enough, during this time they only published 194 articles mentioning Islamophobia within the Tory party which was a much more prevalent issue.

They turned their back on 2/5

the left and on socialism, contributing to the downfall of the man who would have been one of the best prime ministers of the modern era.

I watched one of my favourite authors, someone who had helped to shape my political opinion on the Establishment attack a movement 3/5

they had helped to shape, turning on the leader we desperately needed. That's when I finally realised that it was over.

Remember, The Guardian is not your friend. It's part of the establishment now, so please, please consider ditching it 4/5

Bonus Tweet: If you're going to link a Guardian article, please consider writing 'dump' before theguardian. com

This ensures that they don't gain ad revenue from the article

That way you can still read their drivel, but they don't get a penny
