Part of me thinks the reason Britain is so hosed up is that The Guardian is our only mainstream "left wing" newspaper and it's a loving garbage fire of quiche-eating fart sniffers.

The news is done by unpaid interns, whereas all the opinion pieces are done by rich Oxbridge educated white people earning £300k+ larping as leftists trying to build a “brand” while worrying that Corbyn will make them pay more tax or hurt the price of their second home.

NYT feels like the perfect comparison, even CNN doesn't produce that constant level of flaming garbage OP eds (and they employ Chris Cilizza!).

And with one or two exceptions they’re all white, middle class and voted Lib Dem in the last election

They all have the same opinions and write the same columns as each other.

I only wonderr how Owen Jones keeps his column. He seems to be the only non poo poo regular. Paul Mason was less than useless when he covered Greece and Monbiot keeps trying to own Chomsky for genocide denial.
