The Guardian Hits The Common Denominator
Whilst you couldn’t describe me as left-wing in terms of politics, I rather do enjoy reading guardian.co.uk whilst walking for it’s fairly intelligent opinion. Even if a lot of it is bunkum.
Whilst The Times Online had long-since fallen into poor journalism, long before the Murdoch paywall, The Guardian Online is still a fairly good read. It’s certainly not as good as news.bbc.co.uk for actual news, the BBC doesn’t do much opinion – and dry facts simply don’t hold your interest whilst walking a few miles.
But I was somewhat horrified, as the front page loaded onto my HTC, to find one of the front page stories was about the latest woes of the iPhone 4 and how it would be covering a news conference live at 18:00. Since when did the vanity of one consumer electronics device corrupt this badly?
