The Independent Avaliações 

Compulsive liars pushing there own dangerous agendas!

Fake news, they spread lies and do not fact check anything. RUBBISH

What the hell happened to this newspaper. It’s just went totally rubbish. News made up, no fact check in their articles and just rubbish writing article after article, had to remove it from my news feed.. Just as bed as Metro and the Sun..👎

Website unnavigable due to constant pop-up ads. Now looks like a phishing site that poses cyber security risks.

Signed up for the Indie Premium app but discovered it's not the paper I remember. Aimed at a young demographic, very little serious culture coverage, lots of celebrity just like most of the others. Tried to get a refund after 2 days but they refuse. Their reply does reflect their T&Cs but thought they could be a bit flexible, given that it's not what I want.

Use to be good a few years ago but now heavily politicised, very very heavily biased and all written pushing a narrative, not actual journalism.

Left wing mouthpiece and not to be trusted.

Pushes lie after lie after lie.

Hates Britain. Hates white people. Hates democracy. Hates free speech.

Typical globalist propaganda rag.

When you just want to read unbiased news they force there opinion onto you, trash news

This site contains virus and spam, very toxic, you cannot trust them, they are paid to give you propaganda lies, don't fall for them!

The paper is far from being ‘independent’ and is overtly and consistently against the current Government with a penchant for hyperbolic, super-critical lefty headlines (for example in relation to the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit). There needs to be much much more balance and moderation in their reporting. I no longer view The Independent as a reliable, fair and balanced source of information and objective commentary. This is a pity as there is a space to be filled.

My three main online news sources from "left" to "right" are: The Guardian, The Independent, BBC News.
The Guardian website is very good, and the articles can generally be trusted and accurate. BBC News looks a bit like clickbait these days, and headlines are rarely critical of the government, but it helps give balance.
The Independent sits between the two. The website is pretty horrid with all the ads The structure doesn't make it easy to differentiate between their articles and clickbait (-1 star), so I block these (don't judge). The articles are usually well written and balanced. It would be easy to see them as left biased, but I think anything centrist looks left biased to a Daily Mail reader, of which there seem to be quite a few giving single sentence, 1-star reviews. Ho-hum.

Dirty little smear merchants. Better off reading the Sunday Sport.

They are part of the problem and not the solution.

They said that the attack on Andy Ngo was justified!
Nobody should be attacked for their political leaning or opinions, they use to do that in Germany pre WWII and we all know what happened after that.
A newspaper that supports violence is a propaganda machine, not a news source.
Only someone who knows they can't win a argument with common sense and logic will turn to violence and/or insults.

Nothing current about Julian Assange's trial, no way to comment on any articles. funny that.
I wonder why?
(The Independent’s largest shareholder Evgeny Lebedev has been made a life peer after being nominated by the prime minister Boris Johnson for his work in the media industry)

Wish I could rate it less. Horrible, trashy website filled with rubbish ads from top to bottom. Disgusting and cheap

The Independent is like Marmite - you either love it or hate it. It's intended to be a paper for intelligent people with an open mind. It covers topics not covered elsewhere and often challenges the mainstream view.

Far right-wingers and government apologists will hate it, everyone else may learn something from it, even if they don't agree with every article.

The Voices section (by guest writers) is of variable quality.

Their website does have some issues. If you're not willing to fork out £1 a week for subscription, the adverts are quite intrusive - breaking up the main text. The comments section frequently has issues (you quickly learn to copy and paste your comment, as sometimes it takes a few tries, and learn how to reset your browser's saved files and images). It hasn't worked at all for 5 days since it's supposed revamp. It also attracts various extreme trolls posting racist/sexist etc comments, often under multiple names (probably some of those giving it 1 star ratings below) but moderators fairly rapidly delete once reported.

The Indy - once a great newspaper, now a rich man's plaything, is surely circling the drain. The editor has clearly lost control and lost interest.

The main problems are:

1. Awful journalism - so many articles have typos, grammatical errors and are just factually wrong. I swear some of the journalists have no formal education at all - they are borderline illiterate; just read the Indy/Life section for five minutes to see what I mean. And mistakes are never corrected - one article had the headline 'asdf' for over a week. Most articles are just grabbed, unattributed, unaltered, unverified, from Twitter and Reddit and whatever random press release got emailed in that day.

2. Awful website - full of intrusive and slow ads (an ad blocker is mandatory), comments can't be edited and fail to post, and now, since a recent 'upgrade', you can't even log in on an iPad or iPhone, and all articles have lost their comments. No kidding. And no-one on the Indy has bothered to fix this.

Even funnier is that the Indy is actually seeking subscribers and contributors. Seriously? Who in their right mind would pay for this?
