What's their agenda? And what newspaper doesn't have an agenda?

You say "It's the Guardian" like it's a special case and the other rags that fill the newsagents of Britain are pure as the driven snow.

The Guardian is often extremely left-wing and by far the worst of the broadsheets at letting their opinion bleed through into their news pieces. Just different types of editors than the others. Doesn't mean the other broadsheets don't push agendas, it just that the reporting tends to be less emotional and the manipulation is subtler.

This does appear to come from the 'society' section though, which I think is more of a magazine section. Magazine sections tend to be opinion pieces.

Not at all. I agree, all newspapers have a bias to some degree.

The Guardian is just the Daily Mail of the left. Also notoriously sloppy when it comes to facts, spelling, etc.

The Guardians bias is basically:

BAD - Big companies, government, tories, rich people, MPs, bankers, anyone in power.

GOOD - The 'oppressed' masses, political correctness, the poor, publishing stolen state secrets etc

Some Gaurdian articles are well done. George Monbiot always provides references to his.

The Daily Mail just publishes carp. Here is an example compare the numbers to the headline
