In its own words:
"The creation of people from different parts of the world committed to the original vision which drew us together on The Guardian's CiF pages. We followed with dismay and disappointment the increasingly distorted and tendentious news reporting on Libya, the proxy-war in Syria, and the Ukraine Crisis. Tired of being censored by our beloved, once-upon-a-time left-of-centre newspaper, in February 2015 we decided to create our own platform for airing our unacceptable opinions."

History

In April 2015, their first domain name, http://offguardian.org (with associated Reddit and Twitter accounts, was subject to 'sabotage'), so the group relaunched at http://www.off-guardian.org.

Quotes by OffGuardian

Page	Quote	Date	Source
"Denialism"	“They completely invert the meaning of words and yet claim nothing has changed. They attack reason as irrationality and tell you insanity is sense. They almost literally report 2+2=5 and call anyone who claims it’s 4 a 'five denier'.”	5 January 2024
Inquiry	“[Inquiries] tell stories and sell narratives. They tie up the loose ends and weave a pretense of accountability. They rewrite history amid a theatrically contrived display of faux-cathartic self-examination which, in the end, only supports the mainstream narrative.”	5 November 2023	OffGuardian
John Magufuli	“The negative coverage of President Magufuli is a very recent phenomenon. Early in his Presidency he even received glowing write-ups from the Western press and Soros-backed think tanks, praising his reforms and calling him an “example” to other African nations. All that changed when he spoke out about Covid being hoax. When he was re-elected in October 2020 the standard Western accusations of “voter suppression” and “electoral fraud” appeared in the Western press which had previously reported his approval rating as high as 96%.”	12 March 2021	OffGuardian
