I get it - FT feels like the antidote to shallow ragebait because it's polished, detailed, and authoritative. But in my opinion, papers like the FT, exist less to inform you fully and more to shape your perception - a polished form of narrative management for the benefit of the said elites, not you. The elites themselves, though, aren't relying on newspaper analysis. They have access to internal briefings, specialised research, paid private reports, strategic intelligence, and direct advisor networks - insights and data that never make it into public media channels.
