I spent the last year getting 95% of my news from The Economist's leaders and the world this week. Did I know about every mass shooting soon after it happened? No. But I spent a half hour a week and could speak reasonably competently about the election.
More importantly: the news didn't consume me like it swallowed some of my friends
- emodendroket 10y agoYeah, and you also got all your information about the world filtered through the Economist's extremely ideological lens.
- stevedonovan 10y agoOnce you know their agenda, you can filter. At least they're not hysterical. Part of the problem is the very different meaning that the word 'liberal' has in the UK.
- emodendroket 10y agoFiltering can't tell you what they leave out.
