From the GP:
> The Guardian is left-wing and has many very left-wing columnists.
Sure there's some subtle distinction between the paper itself being one thing but still having "many very left-wing columnists", but not a lot.
Is this what it has come to? Trying to twist every single word as much as possible against their author in the least honest way possible?
I stand with what you quoted. This was a honest and rather matter-of-fact statement... But I obviously deserver to be shot for it by the "progressists" it has somehow managed to offend.
The author of what I quoted seems to have reacted to it differently than you are doing. Or perhaps even very differently ...
