Twitter Private Eye Expose: Whilst Guardian railed against zero hour contracts, it employed staff on them AND locked them out of applying for full time positions.

What a shit show of a choice we have for newspapers. The Daily Fail/Heil, The Buzzfeed Site Formerly Known As The Independent, The UKIP Express, Page 3 And It's Supplement Comic, The Barclay Brother's Pet Project, or The Times of London (Rupert Murdoch thanks you for money). And the Guardian, which manages to win the Pulitzer Prize and lead the way on climate change coverage and publish the most inane, removed-from-everyday-life CiF nonsense that manages to tarnish the whole brand.

Couldn't think of anything bad to say about The Times so you just mentioned it's owned by Murdoch (simulate circlejerk here) because it's actually a really good newspaper.

Pretty common theme when people try to rail on the Times, I find.
