I tend to trust the Guardian, this raised an eye brow earlier.

Why so surprised? Everyone spies on everyone.

Trusting the Guardian to be unbiased about the US is like trusting the Wail to do a sensitive and fair-minded piece on gay Muslim immigrants who work for the local council as bin wardens.

As per Flip though - why is anyone surprised? Everyone spies on everyone else - the only difference between any of them is the level of resources available to them.

More surprised they caught out so badly.

Guardian not so good then? I used to read the times till Murdoch got it. Don't really know what to read anymore. Guardian felt like the safest bet.

Doesn't make any difference what you read, just don't believe any of it until proven, and most of it not even then. The Guardian has always placed its political agenda ahead of objective reporting, it is probably the most biased of the broad sheets.
