The Guardian offers counselling to staff after ‘upsetting’ Trump election result!

I am an oddball when it comes to The Guardian (and all newspapers) I like some journalists, some articles etc.

You will not find me saying I will never read * (insert any publication) due to XYZ, my mind is open to all views and opinions.

Why is it limp to offering counselling? It's just talking to someone to someone who's listening. I was offered it when a young colleague died and that was at 02 so not a lefty organisation.

Buying papers is expensive, do you read them online?

Same here. The same with podcasts.

We sometimes get a few newspapers lying around in our staff tearoom which I read at breaks.Free to me, just wot I like😄

Many of you are missing the point.

The support for American journalists is being offered because Trump has threatened journalists who disagree with him.

It is not about them being unhappy with the result; it’s about them feeling under threat for doing their job - in a country where every crazy person carries a gun!

Why can’t some on GN get this - just because you loathe the Guardian? Can’t you think beyond this?

Ditto. It's good for balance, I think.

Are you able to supply us with some evidence of this, please? I'm curious about what the threats were.

Counselling isn’t ‘limp’ at all, Far from it. However it’s the ‘need’ for this subject matter at hand that is so hilarious.

On another note.
I didn't realise Adrian Chiles was married to Katharine Viner (editor of the Guardian) until I looked her up on wiki just now.
Every day is a school day.

I’m curious too, the mind boggles.

It's not if you're worried about violence or a convicted sex offender being in the highest office in the world.

Baggs I’ve been heavily criticised on other threads for requesting evidence to support posters’ claims.

So, to repeat what some have said to me ‘Google is your friend’. That’s one of the more polite comments I received!

I am afraid that the world has to continue, I don't think people are going to stop talking about a range of subjects because trump is president.

lizziedrip is correct in her assertions about Trump’s threat to journalists and news outlets that disagree with him.

Whether he will carry out these threats remains to be seen but Bezos took it so seriously that he instructed the WP not to support the Democrats as it had done throughout the past decades. Other journalists have expressed alarm as Trump’s threats.

The guardian is owned by a trust, and so is not beholden to any individual or political stance.

This is a piece that quotes a lot of the navel gazing bollocks the editor of the Guardian has issued.

I just can't my head around the POTUS threatening people like that. No other president would have said that

Thanks Petra looks like as it says, the hand holding and hugs for all is more about increasing their subscription numbers.

spottybook

Nobody offered me counselling when labour got in

👍🏻nor us

Oh they just want to get a grip😩

It’s a private business, and how they manage internal staff relations is important to them, but of no interest to me at all - I don’t understand why any of you care about this.

OK, thanks, LDrip. Shall do.

I wouldn't let GN criticism get to you 🙂
