A couple of days ago, the Guardian gave the old story about Tobacco sponsorship in Hollywood its latest outing: It was the golden age of Hollywood, a time when movies defined who we were and what we did. But it...

Vanessa Neumann, a self-confessed product of Venezuela's maligned "oligarchy", writes to The Guardian letters with some facts to prove Chavez is the dictatorial monster The Guardian seems determined to portray him as. In the comments section, though, it would appear Ms Neumann (and The Guardian) have been rumbled.... I live in the US and read The Guardian because I cannot stand the biased US ...

Guardian has a Miliband agenda Bob Marshall-Andrews, though an unreconstructed maverick, writes a very entertaining blog, which everyone should read just to cheer themselves up in the morning. Anyway here he is on the subject of writing for the Guardian: "Just had an article urging Brown to go for growth turned down by the Guardian All my articles are turned down by the Guardian but...

Hallelujah! It had to happen eventually: the Guardian is enraged! by a show of support for someone they call a 'convicted criminal'. Just to spell it out to the Guardian, Shields may indeed have been convicted, but a 'criminal'? Didn't the Guardian used to be in favour of actual trials? Still, let's check the scorecard here, guy captured by US troops on Afghan battlefield and sent to Gitmo: obviou...

What on earth was the Guardian doing accepting an advert (placed by the GLA) for a researcher for the BNP? I have no doubt that Guardian executives will justify their decision to on the grounds of liberty and free speech but it is disappointing nonetheless. Or am I over-reacting? Is their decision based upon principle or profit? I have always thought that the Guardian was keen on promoting good c...

Headline to Guardian leader: Economy: Down, down, deeper and down So, err, where does that come from? Ahhhh, yes….. The Guardian, hip and with it as ever. Cultural references to Status Quo circa 1975. Well, that was when the UK was at its most equal ever, wasn’t it?

You can read the Guardian’s self-justification here. You can watch it online here. This is the Guardian’s next theatrical project.

A nimble two-step from The Guardian: 1. Polly Toynbee sends tweet encouraging all and sundry to take part in an open-access online poll being run by the BMJ. 2. The Guardian reports result of said BMJ poll. Then only thing missing, alas, is: 3. The Guardian then realises that reporting a voodoo poll which its

The two newspapers that really count in Britain are The Guardian and The Daily Mail (...discuss!). The Guardian is the newspaper of the ideas class (notably the BBC). The Mail represents the roar of middle England. The Mail came close...

I took an odd telephone call from a reporter at The Guardian, Rob Booth, just now. The Guardian is apparently interested in the work of the Young Britons' Foundation, of which I am Chief Executive and Co-Founder. I am sure, seeing as it is The Guardian, it will be a well-balanced, fair and objective piece of journalism and I will be given a chance to comment and a right of reply...
