>their reporting has become so one-sided that it’s now questionable if this is really journalism at all.

I haven't regarded The Guardian as a journalism outfit ever since they painted Trump's koi feeding in such a biased light that even the Japanese media went "Nani[1] the fuck?" in utter bewilderment.

That's the one, yep.

>the two men began spooning out fish food before appearing to lose patience and emptying their wooden containers with a shake.

Emphasis mine. That was in fact nothing out of the ordinary, and The Guardian only alluded to this at the very end of the article and video to technically not be outright liars:

>However, other footage made clear that Trump was merely following his host’s lead.

A drive-by glance at the article and/or video thumbnail heavily implies Trump dumped the feed of his own accord by himself.

I haven't respected The Guardian ever since that bullshit.
