Citing pressure to ignore the HSBC story as well as the general clickbait nature that now rules at the newspaper.
This was been building for a while. They're been firing legions of staff from the paper and anyone who reads the site can testify to how the news pieces are becoming shorter and shorter and are instead being replaced by 'top 10' lists or Mail-eqsue 'quirky' stories from around the world that have probably been lifted from Reddit. Analysis pieces are almost non-existent for world events and the political analysis is usually one of their columnists writing an inflammatory article designed to engage the Internet. Osborne and Nelson were two of the few who write anything fair and interesting, they fired most of the rest. Even their sport section has turned to utter nonsense where they'll publish several stories of about 2 to 3 paragraphs for major club that say nothing. You can even see paragraphs copied and pasted from the other stories, they've just changed the focus of the piece.
Not just them either. A lot of papers are like that. The Guardian is increasingly shrill columnists like Owen Jones caught in a perpetual cycle of outrage over everything single thing from relatively worthy causes such as benefit changes to bizarre rants because someone didn't use the correct pronoun for someone else in a pub. Although I think they're forgiven somewhat considering they're publishing relatively large journalistic scoops often often (such as the NSA stuff) and their sports and science coverage is still ok.
The Independent is just buzz feed now.
