I can only speak to the coverage I have seen them do. I’m sure they might be biased on some things, but so far all the coverage I’ve seen them do has been progressive and factual.
When it comes to trans rights stuff, they’ve done better coverage than The Guardian, and as a general source of news they’ve been fine to me.
They’re not an activist paper, like Novara Media and The Canary, so I go to those on some activist topics too, though I take them with a grain of salt sometimes as they tend to more passionate and therefore biased on some things.
The Daily Mail, The Telegraph are obviously awful and disgusting to read, so if I do read them, it’s with a 10 foot pole.
If you’re unhappy with The Independent, what paper do you read?
