I’m sure the Washington Compost, New York Slimes, or L.A. Slimes will be more than happy to pick him up as a reporter if he slants far left on every article he writes.

37 single-byline articles published between 2015 and 2016, seven shared byline stories from the same period, and 20 opinion pieces written from 2009 to 2015. "In an investigation that included approximately 50 interviews, our fact-checker found articles that contained likely or confirmed fabrication, including stories about two events that organisers said he didn’t attend," Ms Glendinning wrote... "Dozens of sources could not be found -- either they had no online presence or they were anonymous and could not be substantiated -- and several people quoted in Mayton's articles either denied speaking with him or giving the quotes attributed to them."
IOW, either the Guardian has no readership, or the readership are gullible as lemmings.
