  Urban Dictionary: grauniad
The Grauniad is a nickname for the UK national newpaper, the Guardian, because of a now ill-founded reputation for typos.
The Guardian newspaper earned its reputation for lots of misprints in the days of hot-metal printing when it was published in Manchester (it was originally called the Manchester Guardian), and the editions that appeared in London were very early editions brought down by train, before all the errors had been spotted.
One time, they printed their own name as "The Grauniad" and since then it has stuck as an affectionate nickname.

 The Guardian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The paper is sometimes known as "The Grauniad".
The term was coined by Private Eye on the basis of the paper's frequent typesetting errors, for which it became infamous in the era before computer typesetting.
The name the Grauniad for the paper originated with the satirical magazine Private Eye; it came about because of a reputation for text mangling, technical typesetting failures and typographical errors, hence the popular myth that the paper once misspelled its own name on the page one masthead as "The Gaurdian".

 Electrolite: Why they call it the Grauniad:
The name "Grauniad" was invented by the satirical weekly Private Eye in an era when the Guardian had a deserved reputation for lax typo control.
After all The Grauniad was the last of the broadsheets to go "electronic".
I suspect most of the typos were at the (manual) typesetting stage after the editing.

As a one-time Production Editor in the olde worlde of print, I was pleased to see Kim Fletcher's article in today's Media Guardian, entitled 'In praise of the subeditor'.
The article is illustrated by a picture of one of the Guardian's subs editing the very piece in question.
And being 'The Grauniad', the story just has to have its very own typo, in the final paragraph: 'Newspapers have found it difficulty to recruit subeditors over the last few years'.

Caveats: I've always been a left-wing tree-hugging Guardian reader, even when buying the Independent instead.
The only thing that might change that is a radically improved Independent on Sunday, which is relaunching as a tabloid soon.
