No media use controversial to inject opinions on the topic as if it is ok to agree or disagree about objectively morally good positions

    They might not be injecting it directly , but they certainly surface it by omission/language choice.

    Like saying the UK "commandeered" or "retrieved" a boat or transport , but would say "hijacked", "stole" or "pirated" for a demographics they didn't particularly favour at that time.

    You should be paying attention to the omissions and the choice of language overall, because that's where the bias is (usually).

    With "nation" and "rogue" being subject to the perspective(ethical, moral, fiscal etc) of the reporting body.

    It's worth looking but I think you'd be surprised by how much subjective leniency Russia gets depending on the politics of the time.

    Edit : I wasnt trying to point out a particular bias, just that the guardian is a tabloid rag with delusions of respectability.

    They aren't totally inept, nor are they a bastion of unbiased premium journalism

    That's like saying

    The human effect on climate change is controversial

    Sure, you can argue that, technically

    But at the same time, giving it any time in the spotlight is a choice

    Given that one of the sides in that debate is objectively wrong and the point of the guardian is having journalists employed there presumably
