The Guardian is absolutely a British establishment newspaper. You can simply observe how they reported during the lead up to the Scottish independence referendum, or when Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the Labour party.

As soon as there's any perceived threat to the British establishment they'll be running the same stories as The Telegraph.

Yeah, sadly the days of the Manchester Guardian are long gone. It's now thoroughly captured by the same London-centric, Oxbridge-born cliques that dominate the other papers.
Oh, go on. How did they report on the Scottish nationalist movement? How would you characterise it?
I'd characterise it as blatant propaganda. What wasn't misleading was outright lies. When they're repeating verbatim a story from the Daily Mail you know there's something wrong.

Why do you ask? Has that enlightened you any further?
