The economist has published some absolute dreck recently. What happened?
- master_crab 2y agoUsually tended to be moderate but from a free-trade perspective and usually making points blindly obvious to everyone. They’re still late past the post but now they’ve gone weirdly Neo-con.
- g8oz 2y agoExactly why I canceled after many years of subscribing
- Loughla 2y agoLook. Even here people are engaging with this. That's what happened.
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoDon't think you can fault people for engaging in a subject that half the country is willing to sink it for. Can at least talk about it like "wow, the right is really willing to die for this, what are they on about"
- Loughla 2y agoRight or left that wasn't really my point. I didn't intend for anything political at all. The original question was, essentially, why the economist published this. My answer was because people engage with it.
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoI see now, your response was the same as what I said, so we agree. The economist writes about what is happening in the world, this subject has gripped the US, thus it is worth writing about. Sorry. It was the parent comment that had the political tones and calling Economist crap for engaging.
