Below is the crux of a complaint made to The Guardian Editor in connection with an article at the weekend:
1- The journalist in question gained my trust and openness through what I would term as deceit. I felt that we struck up a positive relationship and I alluded to future collaboration and mutual respect but the manner in which this article has been written has destroyed any trust.
Whilst I am critical of the mainstream media I intimated on numerous occasions to your journalist that I did in fact have respect for the Guardian as a newspaper and a source of left leaning news. This experience has left me feeling that this is in fact not the case and that this piece of work is not an example of impartial journalism but in fact political activism which goes against your own editorial code of conduct.
2- After meeting with your journalist and our previous discussions I was left in in doubt that the article was to be about the growth of alternative and populist news sites. At no time was I under the impression that the main thrust of my comments would be used in an article attacking UKIP and Tommy Robinson.
3- The article states that we produce clickbait and conspiracy theories. This is simply not true and social media companies agree with us on this and a simple search of our site or social media would prove the same.
4- We are not supportive or linked with any political party and pride ourselves on editorial Independence. We have had no meetings or discussions with any political parties about our output and not only do I take extreme offence at this it is simply untrue.
