I cancelled my Economist subscription recently due to finding myself frustrated with their political bias. It seems they often assert controversial opinions as accepted truth. I would much prefer that any statements of policy preference were backed up by references, data, or at least given with a nod to opposing viewpoints. Although, that would probably make publishing on a weekly schedule more difficult.

- scrollbar 13y agoEchoing what they said in the linked article, it doesn't fit into a left/right paradigm, so "direction" might not be the right word. Instead I'd elaborate: editors there have opinions about political matters, and they frame their own political opinions as fact.
