    I can reach back to literally today with their Gaza coverage. And no, “most” politicians didn’t back it - this is exactly where you’re falling short. I’m not British or American. An overwhelming majority of politicians in my nation and even my continent thought it was a criminal endeavor. Yet to you, that bias is baked into your national politics - “of course they supported it, everyone did!” I’m supposed to stake their credibility on how much they conform with the opinions of the British government? LOL! And exactly why I find your approach and trust in that website silly.

    Oh, the mods at c/politics! Let’s do a quick census on how many of them are Russian, African, Asian, can read news in more than one language etc.

      What have you disliked about their gaza coverage?

      And yes, for an American decision, I used American politicians. It’d be pretty silly to do otherwise “Oh my God, a majority of politicians did not to protect the right to abortion in America, bizzare!” Lol.

      Edit: I’d also point out I am neither British not American. Unsure why this matters but it seems to be a thing for you?

        Why the hell would you bring up the decision of the US government to illegally invade Iraq as an excuse for a British newspaper endorsing and calling for that invasion and promising it would be a boon to the Iraqi people? Is “Of course the Economist supports whatever Washington decides” is your argument for their being unbiased?

            You can go ahead and justify your bizarre politician argument before you jump to another topic.

              I can reach back to literally today with their Gaza coverage.

              … Proceeds to not do so at all.

              So, no actual complaints about the Gaza coverage then?

              It’s okay to admit that you just assumed you’d dislike the coverage and haven’t actually read it.
