RE: Notes - The Economist, September 22nd - 28th 2018 (2)
I subscribed to the Economist for several years. Good analysis but mostly just good writing. I really enjoyed reading it. Regarding China I think there is a bit of the chicken and the egg. I think as the US and China relationship deteriorates China gets more aggressive. Even if the cause of the aggression is US actions, I'm not sure the reporting itself is biased.
Even though the language is not nearly as biased as with many other sources of news, I do believe their selection of words and structure carry (more than before) the connotation of "we are the good, they are the bad". I imagine the exact same thing is happening in Chinese media. I wouldn't expect anything else, to be honest. Furthermore, all in all, The Economist is still one of the least biased news you can find around. I stated this because sometimes I find myself internalizing what I read without questioning where it came from or what is being said.
