This is a LIBERAL newspaper? Yeah. Right.
The most important "liberal" newspaper in the United States is the New York Times. This blog will have much to say about its ownership soon. Right now, I hope readers will check out this bombshell piece, which looks behind the scenes at the Guardian -- the "liberal" UK news source.

I'll take the opportunity to once again plug "50,000 editions of the imperialist, warmongering, hate-filled Guardian newspaper":

The Guardian's sources for its New East Network includes The Interpreter. Michael Weiss, editor-in-chief of The Interpreter, also writes regularly at The Atlantic Council on Russian and Syrian regime-change.
On Nov 22, 2014 he published an article at The Interpreter with Peter Pomerantsev on "The Menace of Unreality: How the Kremlin Weaponizes Information, Culture and Money."
In Oct 2014 the London-based Legtaum Institute founded a new Institute Initiative entitled "Countering Russian Propaganda." It was headed up by Michael Weiss.
To publicize it Legatum held a media event in London.
"A livestreamed public panel discussion will include Geoffrey Pyatt, US Ambassador to Kiev; Oleksander Scherba, Ambassador-at-Large for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Michael Weiss, Editor-in-Chief, The Interpreter; Peter Pomerantsev, author of Revolutionary Tactics: Insights from Police and Justice Reform in Georgia; and John Herbst, Director of the Atlantic Council’s Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Centre. Anne Applebaum, journalist and author of ‘Gulag’ and ‘Iron Curtain; The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1944-56’ will moderate."
And on Sept 17 2015 the Institute for Modern Russia and the Atlantic Council co-hosted a media presentation of a new report from The Interpreter titled "An Invasion by Any Other Name: The Kremlin’s Dirty War in Ukraine."
So The Guardian is now front and centre for US-backed Russian regime change agencies.
The Guardian seems to fully support the neocon agenda now, although occasionally an article isn't overt propaganda. They've also stopped allowing comments on a lot of articles, I suspect because so many of their readers have been calling bullshit on them. On a recent thread, the most highly rated comment was a complaint that the Guardian has been deleting comments that include facts that contradict the article.
