Rope, Tree, Guardian - Some Assembly Required

November 26, 2022
-----

  While - against better judgement - reading an article at The
Guardian, this plea for cash was at the bottom:

  "Resist powerlessness. Protect democracy. Support the Guardian.

  From voting rights to climate collapse to reproductive freedom, the
  Guardian relentlessly reports the truth, uncovers injustice and
  exposes misinformation. Fearless, independent journalism is
  essential to building a better world. We are raising $1m to fund
  our journalism in 2023. If you can, please consider a year-end gift
  to the Guardian.

  Unlike many others, the Guardian has no shareholders and no
  billionaire owner. Just the determination and passion to deliver
  high-impact global reporting, always free from commercial or
  political influence..."

  Climate Collapse? Now we're just trying to one-up CNN's Climate
Crisis. Fearless, independent journalism? From an outfit that fails to
fact-check and primarily trawls Twitter from the comfort of their
computer desk? Free from political influence? While tossing a word
salad of socialist talking points.

  The only donation journoscum deserve is a pair of coins to pay the
  ferryman.
