The Economist has been consistent i advocating in for (among other things) legalizing drugs, same-sex marriage, more public transport, carbon trading, nuclear energy, less regulation, freer immigration and many other things that were not and are not the "consensus opinion".
- agsdfgsd 8y agoThose have been the consensus opinion of the media the entire time the economist has been promoting them. The media exists to convey a false sense of consensus in order to cause people to go with the imaginary herd.
- remarkEon 8y agoWhat? Advocating these things is the very definition of the neoliberal consensus view - for which this magazine explicitly advocates. With the exception of same-sex marriage (maybe ... this was a liberal policy goal for a long time), all of that is the boilerplate position of any pol from that camp.
