New Statesman: The lost magic of Manchester: The Guardian has always prided itself on good writing, but the paper of today is a shadow of its former self.

Once known as the Manchester Guardian, this newspaper since its founding in 1821 has been Britain’s strongest liberal voice, independent, non-conformist, and a stalwart champion of unpopular causes.
