On May 6, 2017, ''The Guardian'' published an article taking the side of Spanish Stalinists over Trotskyists and anarcho-syndicalists during that country's three-year civil war, specifically the firefights between the different factions of the Spanish Republicans, documented by George Orwell's autobiographical ''Homage to Catalonia'', which regards his experiences serving in the war as a private of the Trotskyist POUM (Workers' Party of Marxist Unification). The article criticized Orwell's book, with the headline, "George Orwell's Spanish civil war memoir is a classic, but is it bad history?" It accuses Orwell of being too biased and partisan to understand the situation properly enough to obtain a proper judgment. Given that he was merely a private, the Guardian postulates that he can't have possibly understood the nuances of the situation that led to government-affiliated Stalinists gunning down anarchists and Trotskyists in the streets.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/may/06/george-orwell-homage-to-catalonia-account-spanish-civil-war-wrong</ref> Ironically, in the appendices of the book, Orwell defends the Guardian of the time as a fair and non-biased source of information which does great journalistic work.

On 14 June 2018 ''The Guardian'' published an article by Claude Moraes entitled "The far right is organised and growing. Those Nazi salutes are serious". It referred to a demonstration held on 9 June in London in protest at the imprisonment of campaigner Tommy Robinson. The only evidence the article brings of "Nazi salutes" is a photograph in which one man is holding up both arms with fingers splayed, and another behind him is holding up a placard.<ref>
