i'm glad reading your comment, because i nearly always get that feeling with FT articles, and very often with Economist patronizing subset of articles.

- throwaway2037 5mo agoCan you provide some example financial/economic newspapers and magazines that do not give you "that feeling"?
- jjtheblunt 5mo agoDeutsche Welle and usually Reuters, sometimes AP News. To your point, it _is_ somewhat random
- throwaway2037 5mo agoNone of your examples are "financial/economic newspapers and magazines". Rather, they are general news sources that occaisionally report on financial/economic topics. I was being very specific in my OP. Also, "somewhat random" reads like pure tin-foil hat nonsense to me. It sounds like: "If they agree with me, it is good; else they are a rubbish news source." I see this much too often on HN where someone claims the vast majority of major news sources cannot be trusted and only they know which news sources (and specific articles) can be trusted.
- jjtheblunt 5mo agoagreed with your general point that I'm having to look across multiple different news sources, each _not_ specialized in financial/economic news, to attempt to reconstruct viewpoints not propagandized by whomever. in my case I look across countries for their news versions, which seems useful. and, yes, "seems" is vague but that's at least an attempt.
