Quality reporting. Interesting and relevant. Mr. Palmer and has a voice like butter. Anne McElvoy is wonderful. Thankful for all the high-quality journalists at The Economist.
Excellent yet lately lacking in nuance

The Economist has been a guiding star of reason throughout my life. I still rank them as one of the most reliable and balanced sources of news and opinion but lately I have felt somewhat let down with their ability to paint both sides of the picture. On several topics I follow from a variety of different sources I feel they could do a better job at not shying away from uncomfortable truths or raising counter arguments to the established narrative. They have to some extent succumbed to a form of “wokeness light” if you will. They have the intelectual brain power to dissect difficult topics with reason and should exercise that ability without fear. I would actually rank them as a four but I figured a lower rating would be more likely to jump though their review revision algorithm and it doesn’t hurt to fee you have some catching up to do.
