Why The Guardian is Crap

I suppose I can gauge how old I am by the number of years that I have been bemoaning how the Guardian has gone downhill since it stop being just earnest and chose to be trendy, allowing naive, ill-informed and ill-read nobodies to write twaddle without fact-checking or even questioned by an editor.

Today's niggle—and it is just that and of no more import—is the following comment about U2's court victory in claiming their detritus back from a profiteering former flunkey. The suggestion is made that the tea-cups featured may represent "a revelation that may undermine U2's image as hard living rock stars"

Hard Living? The Milksops of Pop? Does ANYONE think of U2 as anymore than a bunch of sanctimonious parsons, or have I been reading the wrong magazines.

Craig David as a gangster rapper anyone?
