The Economist was always “squishy,” in a Euro way. I used to subscribe to it during the late 80’s and early 90’s. I still enjoy reading it, in the sae way I enjoy reading our MSM.
Oh! You have a stronger stomach than I.
Sometimes when my family goes out to eat, I find a newspaper left on a booth seat. Out of boredom, I’ll read a bit of it, and that experience brings home to me exactly why we no longer bother with newspapaers.
