I really try and avoid all papers for news, but reading the Guardian (which I do from time to time, if I can avoid paying for it), makes me feel like I am in a far left indoctrination class.
If the Guardian ever did criticise a communist country, like China, then not only would it alienate a good chunk of its readers but it would just be empty whinging. They'd never make any overtures at trying to solve the problem, merely just complain about it. Kinda like Shami Chakraparti's stance on some of the most terrible countries in the world. "You can't deport people there, they will get tortured. No, no let's not do anything about them or to try and stop it, lets just sit by and watch them do it."

Flippin' eck (Tucker). Gratuitous reference to Grange Hill's golden age for those old enough to remember.
Actually The Guardian is critical of China and has, for example, been active in supporting the Burmese campaign.As for allegations of just whinging, I
love that! Of course the Mail is the whingiest paper on the planet, with a vicious agenda. At least The Guardian is, currently at least, big enough to fill a litter tray! And whilst it's left leaning, it's no Communist supporting rag by any means.
And you leave my Shami alone. She's a top gal. Of course Liberty is concerned with UK civil liberties but I bet you a pound to a penny she supports Amnesty who.....
(I am, of course, suspecting that you're no fan of Amnesty either mind!)
