Is it? I don't see that catchphrase anywhere but in the URL. It's not on the actual website anywhere.
In case you didn't know, 'Comment Is Free' was the name of the Guardian's opinion column section, where user comments and debate used to be encouraged. It was essentially a forum.
They shut all of that down years ago, partly because their desired narrative would often get btfo by user comments, but also as part of the wider comment section shutdown which happened across the entire internet. For some reason (spoiler: it's incompetence) they haven't removed the last vestige of CiF from the back end of their site, so it shows up in the URL, reminding people it used to exist. 'Comment is free' in the url doesn't mean anything any more, other than that the Guardian is 'free' to print whatever they want, completely unchallenged.
Journos are continually finding ways to be terrible at whatever they do.
It’s “Comment Is Free” so she may not even be an actual journalist…
Honestly, I wondered about that myself, but I am yet to get around to checking the “author accreditation”…

That bitch is a journo all right.
