- disgruntledphd2 6y agoThe FT is expensive, but well worth it (it's good because it's expensive, as journalism is).
- andrepd 6y agoThey have their own biases, but at least they're very good when read in combination with other sources.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoYeah, totally. But at least you can rely on them to mostly avoid clickbait, and actually have people on the ground to do the reporting. I definitely wouldn't use them as my environment reporting source, but for politics and business they're hard to beat.

- ReptileMan 6y agoThere is the reason why Taleb in his brilliant piece Intellectual yet idiot chose to rip the New Yorker reading crowd and not FT. The closer you are to the action the more skin in the game you have and the better intel you need.
