Seems like you just described journalism in general, or do you think the economist is particularly bad in this regard?

- harry8 3y agoSure there's always Gell-Mann amnesia [1] And we put less stock in USA Today or Yahoo! news stories than the NYT. Or at least used to. The thing that is particularly bad with respect to the economist is that there are many intelligent, thoughtful, educated people who haven't spotted just how terrible it is. The economist is also particularly bad given they push an agenda then fit the reporting they plagiarise to match that agenda with no references and no byline. "Chat GPT write me an article with respect domestic politics of country X that supports the next possible war between the west and country Y." Chat GPT doesn't write as well as the economist oxbridge grads however the actual content is no worse.
