Thats the reality.

A balanced article would have used those facts to begin with. But then it would never have been published and never have been shared because people don't like facts if it doesn't suit their agenda.

I don't ignore the guardian. I read it online every day, it's just I have a strict balanced diet so I make sure I read the Daily Mail online in equal measure. Try it, within months you'll be grateful and more tolerant of different opinions too.
Having different opinions doesn't make some opinions right. There are some political opinions that are just wrong, just because they are an opinion doesn't give them validation.
