100% agree, but the problem I have with the economist is that it requires serious mental commitment to engage with their articles. The meat of the story is buried deep. The only times I find myself capable of reading are when I'm traveling or commuting.

The issues come weekly with really interesting topical stories, so I always add them to my reading todo list, but they just pile up so fast.

This past year and 1/2 of WFH life meant, I now have about 50 issues to go through LOL.

"the problem with this news source, is that it requires thinking to parse!"

Sorry for the jab, but I think this is our current political situation in a nutshell - surface level, emotional takes are the primary way people engage in news and thus politics. It's hard to engage deeply, but it's required in order to build your own narrative, rather than just take on someone else's.
