The Guardian is a newspaper with a left-wing stance. Coincidentally, most advertisments for media jobs get placed in the Guardian - partly just because this is traditionally the paper people have looked in for media jobs, partly because it has a weekly media supplement. Many media jobs are with the BBC, unsurprisingly. **Quartz** claims that all this is a conspiracy to ensure only rabid-socialist Guardian readers get jobs at the Beeb.
