Customer Reviews
Impressive Reporting
I have taken The Economist for years. The articles were well written and, surprisingly supported by data and facts. The readers on the app are very good reading material that for some find challenging. The Economist has a center right orientation which may be interpreted in the US, especially after the recent administration ‘s distortion of speaking and writing with a contemptuous attitude to experts and facts. Decades ago experience in the college market showed a steep drop in rigor over time both in textbooks, demands of professors and student interest in learning. I believe I see the results of that period of relaxation of standards in politicians and in many other college graduates in the business world. Stay the course Economst.
Double plus good propaganda
Tune in for today’s truth from the mouthpiece of the deep state
Subpar
Listening for example, to the article :”Will the Women of Iran Win”, one would be forgiven, if they thought it was written by a member of the NAIAC council (an IR lobby group active in the US since early 2000’s)
I was deeply disturbed by the invalidating slant and spin given to what is decidedly one of the most important movements happening in the region since less than half a century ago.
Doesn’t matter if the Economist is indeed commissioned to write articles like this or whether it’s due to their natural bias, the direction they’ve taken, I’m sorry to say, has decidedly cast an ugly shadow on the the entire publication.
