“Over the past decade, the Economist has moved radically to the left and away from their 100+ year history of traditional ‘liberalism’ at the newspaper. The bias is particularly evident in Checks & Balances.
The most recent example: They recently handed over the show for a three-part series by Tamara Gikes Borr, who said, “Political messengers can create negative campaigns by associating one thing with something bad so eventually people come to associate the two things.,” while in literally the same breath linking parental opposition to Critical Race Theory in schools with support for QAnon. The irony was not lost on me.
The sad part is, there ARE often good arguments to be made for the left’s position on a variety of issues. Unfortunately, today’s Economist journalists operate in an echo chamber of liberal values and assumptions, without a single ‘traditional liberal’ or conservative on the regular panel, so what you get instead is the poor facsimile of journalism and analysis.”
