11. The Guardian was more skeptical about Bush/Blair claims

...on Iraq. They are noticeably better than NYT overall.

But they have their prejudices, too. If anything that is socialist is represented by brown skin, they will lean toward a critical tone. I can't call them attacks, because they have rarely addressed subjects like Venezuelan democracy. They seem to just avoid the subject and let negative offhand references creep into their writing.

Another problem I have with the Guardian is their apparent Russophobia. I know they're very critical of America, too, but with Russia its one of those situations where they can't ever bring themselves to say anything nice. 'If you don't have anything negative to say, don't mention the Russians.'

And accessing their site from America, their front page looks like 85% US news (which kind of ruins it).
