The Financial Times is absolutely biased on certain topics, for example US politics where they are extremely anti-Trump. It’s not that I want them to be pro-Trump, I’d just like to be accurately informed about him, given he’s one of the most powerful people on Earth and what he does moves markets. I don’t read the WSJ, but some people say the reverse bias is evident there.
- Nasrudith 6y agoAssuming there should be "no bias" for fiancial geared newspapers is a mistake. Their bias should be pro-operable facts and those who work on the implications which may be followed and considered even if wrong to know the current Zeitgeist. That might mean saying "Brexit would be an economic disaster for the nation" no matter how impolite it may be.
- esja 6y agoI agree, but the problem with the FT is that they’ve stopped capturing the whole zeitgeist on some topics. Telling half the story all the time leads to the sorts of surprises that financial market participants really don’t like. It’s a very strange strategy for the business they’re in. They did get sold a while back, and their editors have changed, so perhaps their subscription model has been struggling and they’re pivoting to the clickbait model.
