I don't understand what your beef is with the independent?
Their reporting of late. And the fact that they are quite clearly unable to proofread. Or can't be bothered.

Interesting, I find them the most balanced out of everything out there. Their online Writer / powster pisses me off with their cli9ckbait leads, especially "stop.... Immediately" but out of all the papers it has a more diverse set of opinions in it. A lead i wished the others followed.

I'd like to burn all of the following to the ground, in no particular order:
i/Independent
Daily Fail
The Sun - especially for their f*****g "corbyn blood on his hands" bullshit following Manchester
Cosmopolitan
I don't understand what your beef is with the independent?
The Independent is not the same as "i" newspaper
just so you know.
i used to be part of the same group but I don't think it still is now.
Apologies, it got taken over by Johnston Press last year but retains a significant number of editorial staff. I hadn't realised.
"On 11 February 2016 it was revealed that regional publisher Johnston Press, owners of the Yorkshire Post and The Scotsman, were in the advanced stages of talks to buy the i for around £24 million.[14] A "significant number" of staff joined the team from The Independent.[15] The new editorial team was announced in April 2016.[16]"

I was puzzled at the hate for the independent, i also assumed 'i' was the 'lite' version of the same.
is the grauniad still ok? is private eye still a scurrilously admirable rag? and is there honey still for tea?
Private Eye doesn't claim to be a "srs paper". "i" is the one that I haz beef with, apologies to the Independent. It keeps popping up on FB with lots of bullshit. And the same editing skills as the grauniad.
