    And: 'After very nearly being killed several times while working as an investigative journalist in West Papua, Brazil and East Africa, sometimes on almost suicidal missions, almost the only thing that still holds fear for me is our [climate] inaction.'

    1/3 One of the great pleasures for us over the last 20 years: witnessing George Monbiot being overwhelmed by his own brilliance. 😄

    'But when... journalists take money from powerful people and companies, that completes the loss of integrity.' You mean like when people 'take money' from the Guardian and other corporate fringe-puddle media?

    Very different tone a year into their respective leaderships...

    This is repulsive. The Intercept was founded during the Snowden story to defend privacy rights & oppose the security state. Now, the liberal DNC hacks who "edit" it are boasting they got personal data from Gab users & are sorting through it, doing FBI's work to find "extremists."

    The Guardian, liberal gatekeeper of power, is 200 today. Tony Benn: 'The Guardian represents a whole batch of journalists...who, broadly speaking, like the status quo...are very critical of the left...They just are the Establishment. It is a society that suits them well.'

    Both and have issued partial, self-serving accounts of history, almost completely devoid of any meaningful criticism. Here's a reminder of what the anthropologist and activist David Graeber said about the paper.

    Remember how the Guardian was at the centre of the evidence-free antisemitism smears against Corbyn. Now it's playing the same game against Salmond's Alba party with transphobe smears – uncritically citing the self-serving claims of the Scottish Greens

    A reminder that the Guardian played a key role in destroying the only leader who might have tackled this. It produces such articles now to please its liberal base, and increase its funding, knowing the prospects for serious change in the UK are over - thanks partly to it.

    Rusbridger on the 'remarkably positive and progressive aspects of The Guardian’s more recent history, including in-depth coverage of the developing world' - and on why 'developing' countries like Iraq, Libya and Syria should be bombed!

    In Rusbridger's world, the left felt 'disappointment' at the Guardian's 'failure' to 'wholeheartedly embrace' Corbyn! Er, they waged war. 'The most recent disappointment for those on the left was the paper’s failure—as they saw it—to wholeheartedly embrace Corbyn’s leadership.'

    "The Guardian has never been much of a business. Its owners never got rich; in fact, they gave the newspaper away." Read on the first 200 years of its history, and more broadly about journalism driven by purpose, not search for profit or power

    'The Guardian’s campaign against the Serbs was...the original blueprint for "humanitarian intervention", the policy adopted by Tony Blair when he came to power. All of its basic tenets...were set in play in the war against Iraq in 2003.'
