eyeroll
I read the economist on a weekly basis and can confidently say that that form of curated professional journalism is much better than random partisans on twitter loudly shouting about everything
- bugglebeetle 3y agoThis is somewhat hilarious because the Economist is famous for its unsigned articles and IIRC lacks citations, such that you have no way to verify whether the person writing them has any expertise in whatever they’re spouting off about. It’s effectively a middle-brow subreddit in print.
- LordDragonfang 3y agoWhile I agree that the Economist is infamous for having the occasional-to-frequent terrible take under a common pseudonym, I think you're wildly overselling the quality of most mid-brow subreddits (Or have a definition of "middle brow" that only includes the top 90th percentile).
- bugglebeetle 3y agoI’ve read the Economist and its depth of insight is equivalent to your average top comment on r/Neoliberal (and I don’t mean that as compliment the subreddit).
