I could add in its tolerance if not open affection for Fidez the anti-semitic Hungarian political party, or its virulently anti-union posturing, or its hatred of the welfare state.... I could go on, specifically just about their ideology and how it permeates everything thats published there, but its a lost cause on this website.

Those articles are not really convincing - two are regarding one book review, one criticizes the British reader for mispronouncing Spanish names (among other nit-picks). Those sources are very obviously biased (which is fine) and don't nearly constitute objective, or moderate, or broadly-accepted source of commentary. If you were a regular reader of the Economist you would know how they actually look at anti-semitism (scornfully), labor-relations (respectful of labor, critical of populism and unchecked power), the welfare state (maybe conservative in the UK, downright progressive for the US - see anything they cover on healthcare). Their ideology does permeate all of their work. The reason they are so well respected is that their ideology is well-reasoned, and their research and writing is very high quality.
