Noam Chomsky said the FT is the only paper that tells the truth, since the interests of the readers and the publication are aligned in making money. One thing I read from Superforecasters though is that the best forecasters read a vast array of sources, actively challenging their own biases. It seemed that the most realistic perspective was not to be found in any one newspaper.

It's refreshing to read their advertising charter. http://aboutus.ft.com/corporate-information/ft-company/advertising-charter/ http://aboutus.ft.com/corporate-information/ft-company/adver... (Yes, people don't like paying a fee and seeing ads, but (a) that's reality and (b) the complaints are an arbitrary binary viewpoint that lacks foundation)
- nyolfen 10y agoAre you certain it was FT that Chomsky said that about? He's said something nearly identical about WSJ in an article I read a few months ago
