> Very disappointing. What is happening to the Economist?
Nothing - it's the same magazine it always was. Only this time it's covering a topic for which you have a large degree of expertise. I imagine someone with vast knowledge of China and its military capabilities is shaking their head at the article you just lauded.
- T_S_ 16y agoYou nailed it. Journalism will always seem "challenged" on a topic on which you are an expert. If they don't completely screw it up with factual errors, give them an A+ and take everything else with a grain of salt. I worked on a biofuels startup for 2 years, focused on a lesser known crop. During that time I did not read a single article on our sector which did not contain major factual errors.
