Pretty much - the Atlantic republished a 1990s callout because of its persisting relevance: http://www.theatlantic.com/technolo...post-1991/7415/ The long and short is that The Economist ranges from sensible to nutbar, driven by their terrible op-ed quality control.

Democracy now and fsrn are good. Any local network affiliate for local police blotter stuff. Does anyone pay attention to local news? That open space initiative is going to fail and a new subdivision built if you dont watch out.

Yeah, hence why I love that article from the 90s pointing out that Thatcher followed The Economist's ideology to a T in the 80s and left Britain with the weakest economy in Europe.

breitbart is very much a different thing than fake news as the term started, we are talking literally half-auto-generated "you wont believe"-clickbait mixed with "this one weird trick cures diabetes"-ad-tease levels of outrageous political claims. random guys operating out of their homes registering domain after domain with likely-sounding newspaper names and just blasting them full of random content, and then slightly more bespoke but trivially verifiably made-up news stories about the outrage when a muslim shut down an airport by taking an old lady eating a ham sandwich hostage in the control tower one has to have a really lovely set of people as facebook friends to have seen it, but it was very much a thing
