It's in the economist. Very reputable independent publication. You do tend to dismiss anything you don't like far too easily!
It's not that I don't like it. Just saying the tone was set, the economist is hardly independent though. You don't really believe it is do you? There isn't a media publication that isn't biased in some way or another.
i take most of what i read form most organisations and know that i have to understand what its slant is, whether thats the mail, or guardian or whatever
the economist, part of the FT group, is one of the few where you can genuinely say its not got an axe to grind
if something appears in it, or the FT, then you can say its journalism is rigorous and not pounding the drum for a biased media baron who has funded a party for example
"The Economist claims that it "is not a chronicle of economics".[10] Rather, it aims "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress".[11] It takes an editorial stance of classical and economic liberalism which is supportive of free trade, globalisation, free immigration and cultural liberalism (such as supporting legal recognition for same-sex marriage). The publication has described itself as "a product of the Caledonian liberalism of Adam Smith and David Hume".[12] It targets highly educated readers and claims an audience containing many influential executives and policy-makers.[13] The newspaper's CEO described this recent global change, which was first noticed in the 1990s and accelerated in the beginning of the 21st century, as a "new age of Mass Intelligence".
i thought it was a really interesting article with a different slant on things.
