Bias is one thing. Blatant manipulation and lies are more serious and should be dismissed.
I honestly can not believe it. This is an orwellian level of manipulation of information. My first lecture is that they are desperate because, indeed, this is working, and they have interests that depend on Milei being proved wrong.

journalist Matt Kennard talks about this exact thing. there's probably many journos who discuss this, but ive listened to couple of his podcast interviews
he started in Financial Times but is now with an independent org and his angle is that essentially corporate interests, eg the Gates Foundation when it comes to The Guardian, control the media and what can and can't be said and that one of the prime ways they do it is by what they leave out of a story
