I stopped reading the Economist in the 2000s. I noticed an obvious drift towards statism and central-planning, using Keynesianism, open-borders, elitism and globalism as justification. The occasions I have looked the Economist again, its gotten a lot worse.
Yep. I just posted the same before I saw your post. They have endorsed every single Democrat since they endorsed Kerry in 2004....yet they still try to pretend they are something other than a Yurp global socialist rag. Pick any issue. The Economist is wrong about it. They’re also frequently dishonest in what they write about it.
