Evidence Against? "The Guardian is not owned by a billionaire or shareholders"

If anyone can provide evidence to counter this message, that'd be grand.
Or an explanation re how they manage to maintain an establishment line without being billionaire / shareholder-owned.
Ta.

Which keeps the independent journos in gravy.

So the question is, is the Guardian free to write articles about redistributing funds from gamblers and rentiers to the commons. Do they ever write articles about capital being theft? Have they ever called for the abolition of the market which profits from the destruction of the commons upon which our lives depend.

Of course not.

They are part of the thief and gangster class.

Cheers,
Dan

"Like the BBC - The Guardian is not independent, the old Scott Trust was wound up in 2008 and replaced by a limited company of which venture capital firm Apax Partners is the sole shareholder.

Apax Partners appoints a board to run the show – the composition of which might startle those who still regard The Guardian as a left leaning newspaper."

The Sodiumhaze link seems to be messed up:

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
