wonderful cynical and cautionary take on the guardian uk

landing like a wet blanked, counterpunch has wonderful cynical and cautionary take on the uk guardian paper.  valid criticisms for sure, but what's so odd to me is that the paper is part of establishment press with all the problems that creates, but it is also more recognizably liberal than our solid right-wing establishment press.  we have no liberal establishment press in the united states.  not in new york or washington or on tee vee.  a magazine or two, but nothing mass market, and then the internets.  we should be so lucky to have a guardian here to piss on with good reason.  highlighting the issues with the guardian is a fantastic exercise on how our own media needs to improve.
