The Guardian‘s editor Katharine Viner and its head of national news Archie Bland were warned in advance that late academic Jason Arday was endangered by its planned attack on him, according to a newly-released email. They published anyway.
The pair were also warned that the Guardian’s “unfounded” attacks on Arday were at least potentially motivated by a personal grudge and that running the story would breach the paper’s own editorial code:
Arday died on 14 August, reportedly by suicide, after a campaign of attacks launched by racial supremacist Nathan Cofnas, an Israel supporter who claims that Black people are inherently less intelligent that whites. Cofnas has since claimed to be the victim of a ‘hate’ campaign.

And this is why people give money to the last known bastion of the free press.
Oh wait... no it's not. I wonder how many will cancel their donations and denounce the paper. Or will they hand wave it away.
