All newspaper websites have to compete for clicks, especially when faced with the brutal onslaught that is the Daily Mail. The Guardian is run by an independent foundation, and is able to carry stories (like the whole Wikileaks/Snowden thing) that others won't touch. It's also (formerly) famous for its lack of proof-reading, hence its nickname, The Grauniad. The Globe and Mail used to share more stories with the Guardian, but ever since the Globe lurched more to the right, these have tapered off to nothing. Stewart
