I used to read the Economist, and I was very much under the impression that they were champions of objectivity, and that they provided a very critical and unique point of view. Nothing further from the truth: they also have an agenda, so they shoehorn the facts to their conclusions. Exactly as everybody else is doing (maybe not so cleverly). I stopped reading it when I could pretty well predict what they would say about a certain topic. And currently their "I told you so" attitude disgusts me profoundly.
