You seem to view things with a very broad brush, did you actually read the magazine or just peruse? Just as an example, did you read the things Mearsheimer wrote? Since this Economist thing has become a quagmire due to Ukraine ( my fault for bring it up ), I reiterate my point: I don't really have anything against them, not even their biases. I do get pissed when they somehow ride their wave of superiority when in fact they are pretty much mainstream. Yeah, they are better than the DailyMail, but not by the amount they project.

Care to actually rebuke my arguments instead of making assumptions? > Just as an example, did you read the things Mearsheimer wrote? I googled this because I was confused because I could not remember seeing his ideas there (which I remember finding totally ridiculous). Turns out this was a "by invitation" section, clearly presented as an outside opinion. I haven't seen them reiterate his ideas anywhere (which I'd summarize as "it's totally OK for powerful countries to scare neighbours into becoming 'buffer zone' client states without any say in the matter"), they're very much for Ukraine's ability to determine their own future. If you're angry about a paper publishing opinion pieces you're going to be angry about just about every paper out there because every one of them is going to sooner or later publish an opinion piece that you disagree with. That's the whole idea of opinion sections.
