They probably still do a lot of those, but recently they’ve been using opinion writers to create outrage bait with writings they should know better than to print.
In the last few years they have been willing to post a large amount of transphobic nonsense. To the point where early in the year almost 1000 current or former contributors signed an open letter complaining about the issue (and made a callback to the paper doing roughly the same thing with gay and lesbian people in the 60s through 80s)
Well, I’m from the UK and when they report on anything to do with us it is almost always completely wrong. Like they’ve never even visited the country.
Have they fallen that much? Or am I confusing them? Because I remember they were pretty well established and did comparatively good investigations?

If you’re going to report on another country, some basic knowledge of that country would be useful though, surely.
