Muchly thank you everyone. Had the feeling all of a sudden that I had fitted into a Guardian reader stereotype ripe to be exploited, coming here made me feel I was not alone. Also re JM on Twitter- alright love, stop banging on about it now!

In my experience the Guardian is stuck inside its own echo chamber just as much as other media platforms are. It also has the biggest contingent of posh and overprivileged journos who rarely journey out of the M25; there are more WC background journos on the Times and Telegraph and definitely a lot more on the mid-markets and tabloids.

I have never really understood why the Guardian has managed to maintain its reputation for probity and integrity as it has not had that for a long time and despite being a national newspaper it is not actually hugely interested in what the country outside southern england actually thinks. It's incredibly snobby in its outlook.

That's just my opinion based on my experience and there may well be fraus where who've had other experiences and will tell me different which is cool, I'm always looking to have my perspectives widened!

The moment I really went off the Guardian was actually over the wikileaks scandal of 2010. Listen fraus I'm not standing up for Julian Assange as a person BUT as far as I could see the Guardian had flattered and emotionally manipulated him into giving them the classified documents, they got loads of scoops out of them, won loads of awards, built assange up to be like this kind of superspy hero and then quickly dumped him and spent a few months writing personal hit pieces about how smelly and mentally ill he was (he is apparently on the autism spectrum btw, which they probably suspected when they were writing this stuff). I appreciate they might've done that because of the Swedish allegations and because they were scared of blowback from the US Government but actually they knew about both these things before they did the scoop, so they blew him up, knowing he was allegedly a sex offender, published his leaks and then not only dropped him like a hot potato but did everything they could to paint him as a clown and a fool whilst they were the 'respectable' journalists.

It said a lot to me about how the establishment media uses 'new journalism' when it suits them but will then tarnish the purveyors of that new journalism to prop themselves up, also shoddy treatment of a source, did not sit right with me.

Oh yeah and back in the 90s they bought into the Met Police's systematic lies about Stephen Lawrence and his family and printed them wholesale, it was only the Daily Mail who insisted on fingering the killers and telling the truth despite their journalists getting death threats from the killers' families, that is all conveniently forgotten now.

I've not got a grudge against the Guardian honest! but I DO think they should stop publishing Jack!

Can believe this based upon their recruiter outreach alone. The Guardian’s salaries are truly abysmal, like instant conversation killer they’re so bad, the Telegraph pay a lil above market rates ime. Again obvs just one person and this isn’t for a writing job. Have also had terrible things about how poorly BAME staff are paid at the guardian. It’s defs easier to write about identity politics then actually apply those learnings to ur own org.

I’d just like to put Kach on notice that Jack donating to this persons JG might have to go on the to do list.
as it stands it is at £622 - same as it was at 12:30 today.
the woman messaged Jack to say it hasn’t gone through and then 3 hours later has shared the link which Jack hasn’t responded to.
I’m enjoying this.

The Guardian don't think you should be worried about anything as grubby and ghastly as money, darling! You have your own private income from the trust your daddy set up after all, no? And we don't need to see your CV either. Did your grandad go to Oxford with Kath or Alan? That'll be enough, thanks.

Haha no I jest but seriously does anyone remember Max Gogarty? That was the first time that BTL commentators rose up as one and bit back against Guardian nepotism. It was the start of Web 3.0 as far as I'm concerned where the Great Unwashed stopped passively accepting what the media told them and started saying what they really thought!

Max, 19, hits the road

Meet Max Gogarty - 19, from north London, spends his money on food, booze and skinny jeans, writes for Skins in his spare time. He's off to India and Thailand to have a good time, and you can join him in his weekly blog

When an unstoppable grifter meets an immovable conartist. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

Aaaaaand, she's just popped up in Roadsidemum's feed. I don't recall ever seeing the profile before, but that's probably selection bias. Though I have been pretty forensic with old mate Roadsidemum. It's double funny because RM was incensed about school uniform prices recently and *didn't* shake her tin
