It should be noted that Eric Schmidt sat on the board of the Economist Group for a very long time. He has recently given his seat to Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of DeepMind, also of Google.

I'm writing this as a subscriber of The Economist for over 15 years, someone who mostly admire their writing and reporting, even if I don't always agree with them.
The Economist ran a comprehensive review of their own coverage of climate change and renewable energy and last year, and admitted that they were completely wrong on the subject in the 70s and 80s. I wonder if a future Economist editor in 2060s would reach a similar conclusion about their current coverage of Big Tech.
