The Guardian
From RationalWiki
The Guardian is a British centre-left newspaper beloved by organically-grown-muesli-wearing, sandal-hugging, tree-eating, disabled lesbian atheistic feminist social-workers and teachers.
Its columnists include self-confessed misanthrope Charlie Brooker and science writer Ben Goldacre, who had his legal fees paid for by the paper during his lawsuit with woo-meister and all-round asshat, Mattias Rath. Ariane Sherine, one of the paper's occasional contributors was responsible for setting up the atheist bus campaign.
Surprisingly, it is also home to one of the worst and most draining concentrations of internet in the world, in the form of the comments section of its 24/7 blogorama that is Comment is Free. But, at least it's sort of free, so we can't complain too much.
[edit] The Grauniad
The paper was once notorious for its many typos and other obvious mistakes, so much so that Private Eye nicknamed it "The Grauniad" - a name that has come into general usage. www.grauniad.co.uk redirects to the proper name, and Wikipedia has a similar redirect.
Some lovely examples:
- What's a stepston? A stepson who wears a stetson, perhaps?
