I've said this many times but I'll say it again. The FT is not some single opinion org. It has many writers and many editors of various opinions. The FT itself does not take any angle, only it's writers and editors, who can have contradictory views and still publish articles in the same media org.

If I were you I'd point to the FT [Weekend] Magazine marquee instead
- oezi 1y ago> FT is not one single opinion This holds for most newspapers and makes that whole fake news argument so infuriating. As if journalists had even 15 minutes in a day to coordinate how to present an issue.
- thevillagechief 1y agoJournalists don't have to spend 15 minutes to coordinate how to present an issue. The phenomenon has been described as journalists writing for other journalists as their audience, rather than the general public. It's about sending a signal that you're part of the in-group.
- watwut 1y agoNewspapers employ journalists that write only within certain range of opinions. I am not saying it is evil or something, but there is absolutely selection of which opinions can be show and which cant.
- CPLX 1y agoWhat are the chances of reading an FT article stating that the financial sector, and financialization, are creating some of society’s core problems?
- teamonkey 1y agoThey do occasionally, with reservation. Though obviously pro-finance they also don’t want total financial collapse.
