I disagree. And let's not try to put the Grauniad too far ahead of other papers, they have their own issues.

That's what I meant. Some of the stuff they publish under "opinion" pieces is much worse than the redtops.

Perhaps, but you must agree they are on average far less brash with their language choice than those papers

Language choice takes second place when it comes to subject choice and manifestation of inherent biases. They are all papers that promote an ideology, they are the same imo.

In your opinion. My assessment of their use of language is fine, in my opinion.
