The Economist comes up often as a shining beacon in these discussions but everytime I read it I'm hit by a wall of aggressive neoliberalism. It may mesh better with your personal world view but it's also a propaganda over facts publication. By that I don't mean they aren't factual but rather that they are very selective in which facts to surface in order to craft a narrative that will hopefully sway the reader into thinking a certain way.


Their news reporting isn't that bad, but what is bad is the mixing of a large number of editorial pieces that do still wave a neoliberalist flag. I encourage having a look at https://www.adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart-2... for a decent appraisal of various sources.
