I subscribe to some of aspects of classical liberalism, and the Economist was a must read for me during years.
It explains good ideas, but I would notice a strange formulaic structure they often used. Many poor-quality articles were subtitled "A [paradigm/company/event] brings [boon], but [caveat]".
