Disagree with everyone here. I actually love the Economist. It is short bite sized articles that gives you a good overview of what's going on in the world. I admire how they correct themselves, how picky they are about British English and generally have broad scope of a particular topic, presenting multiple sides. Consistent styling and plots, excellent typography to top it off. There is nothing like that out there. Similarly, people of HN love the New Yorker and I find it unbereable. I like my news like a datasheet. Short, concise and to the point; not a long winded vocabular pornography.
