Excellent article Jonathan. Monbiot and Owen Jones serve an essential role at the Guardian. They enable the paper to say, "Look, we are progressive" while their centrist and right-of-centre journalists far outnumber them. Monbiot is nothing short of a hypocrite.

Excellent article Jonathan. Monbiot and Owen Jones serve an essential role at the Guardian. They enable the paper to say, "Look, we are progressive" while their centrist and right-of-centre journalists far outnumber them. Monbiot is nothing short of a hypocrite. His selective outrage is absurd. This is a problem that I have noted lately with these transatlantic interviews that are cropping up more often now. Hedges does excellent work but he doesn't seem to know much on Monbiot's work, his contradictory positions, or even the inner workings of the Guardian. For this reason, he is unable to hold Monbiot to account as he should, likely because he doesn't even see that there is a reason to. I detest that paper and I used to be a paying subscriber.
