Teams of lawyers from the rich and powerful trying to stop us publishing stories they don’t want you to see. Lobby groups with opaque funding who are determined to undermine facts about the climate emergency and other established science. Authoritarian states with no regard for the freedom of the press. Bad actors spreading disinformation online to undermine democracy. *** But we have something powerful on our side. We’ve got you. The Guardian is funded by its readers and the only person who decides what we publish is our editor.

*We want to be free to speak openly about what is happening in Gaza, the genocide being conducted by the Israeli regime, and to rally support for international action to prosecute theseh war crimes and those responsible. *We want to highlight the brutality and injustice Julian Assange has suffered and to campaign for his immediate release. *We want to redress the vitriolic media campaign against Jeremy Corbyn and to expose the Israeli embassy in London for its role in manufacturing anti-semitic slurs against him with no basis in fact. And also to name and shame the media that was complicit in this charade. *We want to speak freely and frankly about the lies Keir Starmer has told since becoming leader of the Labour party and to hold him to account for his duplicity and lack of principles. *We want to investigate the university authorities clamping down on pro-Palestinian student protests and to discover their motivation and what political pressures they are facing and succumbing to -- and who is exerting that pressure.
[The above is a genuine statement from the Guardian, with the exception of the last five points.]
I find this hilarious coming from The Grauniad itself: "Bad actors spreading disinformation online to undermine democracy."
Did the editorial team at the Fraud, among them Freedland, count themselves among the 'bad' actors spreading crap/propaganda, like, the Climate Emergency - an emotive liberal progressive statement to make the professional managerial class feel a little bit better about themselves, as they themselves act as the scaffold holding Capitalism up. So, I shout out 'bollocks'.
The reality, we have accelerated climate change caused by Capitalism's addiction to burning fossil fuels, this is but only one of several ecological crisis Capitalism has created, i.e., the poisoning of fresh water, massive top soil depletion, the destruction of our remaining forested lands, loss of diverse species, over fishing - the list is long.
Actually, we have an emergency in Gaza, one the Fraud whitewashes.
Further, allegedly The Fraud can only keep up dishonest propaganda because of donations from readers!
Forgive me, but The Guardian is State and Capitalist funded propaganda, it was once highly profitable due to advertising fees, but more importantly its classified section for public sector jobs. Its physical sales have declined and other income streams, so, now it relies on 'paid advotorials' sponsored by those destroying our ecology and much of the texts in these advotorials is pure propaganda.
