I gave a donation to The Guardian years ago and have regretted it ever since-
From The Guardian: At this dangerous time
Just read an article about Nepal in The Guardian and the newspaper said, "We hope you appreciated this article. Before you close this tab, we want to ask if you could support the Guardian at this dangerous time for journalism in the US.
According to a leading global watchdog (unnamed), American democracy is now more imperiled than at any point since the 1960s, marked by a precipitous decline in press freedom – driven by mounting pressure from the Trump administration in the form of threats, criminal investigations, politicized regulation, frivolous lawsuits and, for public media, catastrophic funding cuts.
Meanwhile, organizations that are supposed to be independent like the FBI and the FCC, our radio and television regulator, have also been targeting press freedom under Trump-aligned leadership, with the FBI raiding a reporter’s home and the FCC threatening ABC’s TV licenses after Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Melania Trump.
The response from some ultra-wealthy and corporate media owners, keen to appease the president, has been chilling: CBS News has been taken over by a Trump ally; CNN may be taken over by the same billionaire; Jeff Bezos has continued to impose cuts and editorial interventions at the Washington Post; and multiple outlets have settled multimillion-dollar lawsuits from the administration to protect their business interests.
Democracy is best served by a robust, thriving free press. But when that freedom is under attack, it falls to a determined few news organizations to ensure the full truth still reaches the public. Owned neither by a billionaire nor a corporation, the Guardian remains dedicated to covering this administration with uncompromising moral and factual clarity – and to keeping trustworthy journalism paywall-free for the world."

Rest assured, the only support/donations they get from Americans must be from liberals and other fake news organizations. Like any media organization, individuals or corporations can file lawsuits against them if they believe published articles contain false information that harms their reputation. However, winning a lawsuit against a major news publication is difficult.
The Guardian Media Bias is "Left," noting that its story selection and wording often critique conservative figures and policies. It generally favors social liberalism, environmental coverage, and progressive politics, rather than strict socialism or class-based worker politics...sure doesn't like Trump and his America First agenda and believe that the press can write anything they damn well please as in their opinion, it's a public interest.
