HYPOCRISY STORM The Guardian facing calls to ‘shut down’ over founder’s use of slaves and siding against Lincoln in US Civil War


Quote:
THE GUARDIAN is facing calls to “shut down” for hypocrisy after backing BLM protests when it branded Abraham Lincoln “abhorrent” in the US Civil War.

Originally called the Manchester Guardian, the paper was founded in 1821 by John Edward Taylor using profits from a cotton plantation that used slaves.

Using a Sun article about Guardian news is like asking Barcelona what they think of Real Madrid

Except those are both pro teams who play the same sport.

Comparing the Sun to the Guardian is like comparing a summer camp flag football team against a Premier division soccer team. They don't play the same sport and they're not on the same level. One is an internationally respected newspaper and the other is The Sun.
