Check out the comments in that article. Am I the only one who stops listening when the Economist is accused of conspiracy?
Sure, they have certain biases which are pretty easy to spot, but accusing them of being an American mouthpiece seems way off the mark.
- wslh 15y agoThe Argentinian government has an army of "social media soldiers". They are very easy to spot, if you read something completely irrational it's a "social media soldier" work or some kind of blind government fundamentalist.
- pessimizer 15y agoConspiracy theory vs. conspiracy theory?
- frankydp 15y agoThe instant red herring responses on any comment is pretty blatant. Not that I assume it is government but it does seem pretty systematic.
- saryant 15y agoThey should just limit comments to those who have paid subscriptions. Typically the Economist has a decent comments section when nutters like this batch don't show up. Sure, if it's part of a concerted effort by an organization they can just buy a few subscriptions but at least it'd keep the one-offs out.
- tatsuke95 15y agoIt's pretty much impossible to read any article about banking/economics/finance nowadays without people spewing nonsense about conspiracy. Pretty sad, when the understanding and information is so important to everyone in the world.
- ahi 15y agoAgreed, but it's not called the Washington Consensus for nothing.
