This is a reasonable summary of the guardian, IMO. I think it largely has the stature that it does because it is in accord with the cultural and political tastes of a large swathe of the UK, and articulates itself better than The Daily Mail. If you consider yourself a moderately liberal intellectual, it affirms your sense of self and world.
It’s a warm blanket and a bottle of milk, not great journalism.
