The FT is not a left leaning newspaper in the traditional economic sense, even if they are somewhat progressive on the social scale. Why would you characterise them as left? They're obviously pro-business, pro-free trade, anti-traditional social stuff (e.g. the pension reform in France is admired) and have done some great investigative journalism recently (Wirecard and Ukraine come to mind).
- corbulo 4y agoTheyre neoliberals. Hardly a better mold that fits them.
- smsm42 4y agoDon't split hairs, "progressive" and "left" are the same thing.
- sofixa 4y agoProgressive is more on the social axis, meanwhile left is applied for both social and economic ones. FT are somewhat socially progressive, but right on the economic axis. Yes, using left/right instead of something like a radar/pizza chart for political leanings is extremely limited.
