Blah, the economist doesn't make sense since 2008. I was a 6-year long subscriber but after the Crimean (Russian vs US) crisis was analyzed without even a hint of objectivity, I start noticing that the quality started deteriorating further and further... Until you see articles like this one or others regarding the EU crisis.
The economist is a conservative, strongly pro-war (seriously, it supported fearsomely every major US/NATO war, last I remember was it's views on the need for USA to openly attack Syria. Disgraceful articles...), pseudo-liberal magazine.
You see good articles every now and then, but since most of the times you can't even tell the author (since it has a very specific policy about them), you're not sure what you're reading... Bug generally speaking I stopped trusting the 'E' long time ago.

- atmosx 12y agoTruth to be told I did not. I read everything from anywhere, but I didn't find anything to fill the gap. I tries "Newsweek", a 3-month trial subscription. It was horrendous, worse than the 'E'.
- rz2k 12y agoI've come to really appreciate Bloomberg Businessweek. However, I've always felt the The Economist was flawed. To me it has resembled the type of conversation I would imagine an economics 101 student having with a student further along in an economics curriculum.
