I subscribe to some of aspects of classical liberalism, and the Economist was a must read for me during years.

It explains good ideas, but I would notice a strange formulaic structure they often used. Many poor-quality articles were subtitled "A [paradigm/company/event] brings [boon], but [caveat]".

Hence the old joke about the desire for a one-armed economist: they won't be always saying "on the other hand..."

Though this does bring to mind Robert K. Merton's unintended consequences and overt/covert functions.
