That half page advert wrapped around the guardian today is a ballache. Can't pick the paper up without it flapping, can't throw it away because the crossword's on the back of it.

The ILX Guardian thread, Dan Hodges and Piers Morgan, united at last.
On a day when Bonker's Britain went even more bonkers than usual, this Guardian leader on Taylor Swift and Donald Trump basically trumps the lot. https://t.co/Y0FZnxZif5— (((Dan Hodges))) (@DPJHodges) November 24, 2017
Disgraceful, bizarre & politically sinister hatchet job on @taylorswift13 by @Guardian simply because she doesn’t preach their politics. https://t.co/toAIruQWaP— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 25, 2017

I hate Taylor Swift and think she's probably evil but that is ridiculous yes
― imago, Saturday, 25 November 2017 13:31 (six years ago) link
That is part of the problem, imo. Brainless, pseudo-woke clickbait is an open goal for the far-right and the Guardian engaging in this kind of bad faith hatchet job just makes it harder for politicised writing on pop culture, diversity, etc.

"still at least they're not envoys for Trump's values"
Trump is quite useful for odious Lineker/Rowling types, it gives them someone other than Corbyn to slag off. And when you are trying be nice Tories, having such a fucking amoral fascist abomination to score easy moral points off is very useful for their social media side of the biz. Fuck all these people tbh!

I meant to say before I didn't read it. I refuse to believe Dan Hodges + Piers Moran are on the right side of any argument, but it seems the Graun has gifted them this opportunity.

The @guardian have written an obituary of their former editor which contains false information lifted, seemingly, straight from Wikipedia. This is extraordinary.
