I would like to comment on the Guardian reporting. It was always a news organization that I loved but their reporting has become so one-sided that it’s now questionable if this is really journalism at all.

Why not interview the local elected politicians or the local tourism organization? Apparently there’s a problem with those two resorts being built. Are they really that outrageous? Why not report on them even just by calling a representative?

Even if they are biased it would be a counterpoint to the other (also biased) claims in the article.

What are you talking about? They include a quote from Fernando Clavijo, the regional president of the Canary islands and link to an article reporting on a statement he made to the media. Admittedly it’s in Spanish, but it’s 2024 your phone can translate that in a heartbeat.

The selected quote is not a counterpoint to the claims of the activists. It’s merely an admission that mass tourism causes issues.

Also as I said they did not interview him but only quoted another interview.
