> And you must be laughably far right to call The Economist left wing. Marine Le Pen would call it a right wing paper.

Did you read the article? It doesn't follow a "right wing" tone.

Yes, it is a completely non-partisan article. It doesn't even mention Bolsanaro's political affiliation, it just accuses him of coming up with quack cures and dirrctly opposing efforts to contain the pandemic.

It reads like a completely business-like, dispassionate take on the situation in Brazil, appearing in one of the most respected and well-known right-wing newspapers in the US.

The article is also not "left wing," either. It's nonpartisan in tone.
