When and how did this newspaper become such a mouthpiece for the Left?
Recent memory recalls when they were economically conservative and socially centrist. Their viewpoint and analysis was humorous, educated, well-thought-out and stoic.
Now I have to sometimes remind myself that I'm not reading the Huffington Post. Just look at their news on Germany: economist.com
What went wrong?

They're still economically conservative. They seem very socially liberal now because the right has become so much more conservative.
They're still humorous, educated, well thought-out and stoic.
slowly but surely every major media outlet has come under the control of the same few elite.
However most DID NOT start that way. They earned their trusted reputation first, then sold out to big buyers later.
It's not only media, the same has happened to everything in the USA. The same few Corporations buy up any decent product. From car companies to food companies, slowly but surely everything has condensed into the hands of a small elite, pretending they don't have a monopoly on everything because people still remember the old company PRE-buyout.
They had to maintain a guise of neutrality for the global deception to work. But the globalist elites and their establishment lapdogs had to reveal their entire hand this election to try to stop Trump.
All the cuckservatives, neocons, neoliberals, kikewood celebrities, actors, late night hosts, etc that they parade day after day in their paid for media, all the money openly funneled into shilling and blatant propaganda. The lies are collapsing under their weight
The Economist has become a full-on globalist rag. It's neoliberal to the core.
Yes, that's economically conservative. They've always been strongly in favor of free trade. And if you remember a decade ago, it was always the parties of the right championing free trade and looser regulation and less government intervention, before they were hijacked by populists and nativist sentiment.
The Economist stayed the same, the right-of-center political parties changed.
I have always disliked them due to their outright pathetic hostility to Russia.
During 90's they were hailing the current state of the country as the brave striding towards democracy and free market, Yeltsin as a brave modernizer.
And in the first month when Putin came (Dec 99) they had title bashing him, with ominous clouds as a picture above Russia. Evil Vlad was their enemy from day one.

Just look at this debate from 2008. Edward Lucas, editor at Economist, how slimy and annoying he is. Look at how he talks and what he stands for. Infuriating
rothschild owned
they've always been Keynesian as fuck
but the point of no return was in 2004. at that point the writing staff became majority women and the quality went through the floor.
I cancelled my subscription after reading it for a good 10 years at that point.
Great magazine.
10/10 publication
I did not agree with them in 2012 election.
i do not agree with them now.
but the breadth and depth of information they bring to my attention is hereby unsurpassed.
Read it.
Maybe putin should not be a little faggot pussy dickslave cumrag bitch then.
this poster knows what jisum tastes like
Oh, ofc. He should have instead leave things as they were, all of the oligarchs running the country.
>Oleg Deripaska, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Boris Berezovsky ...
They all dindu nuffin and evil Putler had stopped their entrepenureal spirit to develop the country.
they act like they're in favor of market economics
but their support of inching towards market economics seems to be solely for the expansion of tax bases to strengthen governmental powers.
they were dismissive of the proliferation of free trade deals between individual nations because they strongly support the TPP.
IF NATIONS ARE RAPIDLY MAKING DEALS, WHY DO WE NEED THIS TPP BULLSHIT? JUST LET THEM KEEP OPENING UP TRADE ON THEIR OWN TERMS.
also they have been adamant for a long time that the west needs to overthrow Assad. fuck that. that's how we got ISIS. fuck the middle east. it's none of our business. any nation we topple will be taken over by even worse people.
Wow, the news about germany are just... deplorable
because a large multinational deal gives you more economic benefits than a bunch of bilateral deals.
Say the US, Japan, South Korea, and Germany get together to negotiate a free trade deal on cars. If all four sign one deal, it's the equivalent of six bilateral agreements (one between each pair. Draw four dots and connect them with lines) Even if all six pairs sign bilateral agreements, if those bilateral agreements differ, you can wind up with varying standards that inhibit trade. Say the Germany-US deal requires that cars have backup cameras but the Japan-US deal doesn't. Now you have cars (those lacking backup cameras) that can be exported to one country but not another, even though there are free trade deals with both.
The superiority of a single multilateral agreement over individual bilateral agreements grows in this way the more countries are involved. For three countries it replaces three agreements, for four countries, six agreements, for five countries, ten agreements, and so on.
A large multilateral deal also has more pulling power. It encourages other nations to join, since if they do, it's like signing a free-trade agreement with a dozen nations at once.
They were never conservative. They have always been (((globalists))) you can just see it now.
TE was always very neo-liberal and globalist. They proud themselves on being strongly biased towards globalisation.
The question is rather: why can't the modern leftists see that they are playing the tune of big business? They spout the same crap as The Economist, a publication they wouldn't have touched with a 10 foot pole.
They are stuffy globalists. The parties themselves mean nothing to them. They endorsed Bush in 2000.
Mass migration is far right economics. Economic growth at the expense of society.

mffw Adrianna Huffington was a conservative activist
Goddamit Sean Hannity. You could have at least finger banged her!
