Do you need more thinking time, Rich?
imo t'Guardian was simply doing the job of journalists - shining a bright light and reporting what they find.
They were providing exactly the same service re: May, The Johnson, Gove, etc, at that time.
No they weren't: the reporting was agenda-led, and the op-ed, with the exception* of a few voices, was uninformed, incurious, politically illiterate idiocy, with bells on. There were a few mea culpas after the election but no actual self-critique: Freedland and the rest are still churning out their bilge.
*In fairness, some of these exceptional voices, such as Aditya Chakrabortty, really are exceptional.
