Brad. The Economist is fine. You just need to put on your tinfoil helmet before you start reading. Then you will be safe:

Bradford Plumer : Whenever I'm traveling and not keeping up with current events--as has been the case over the past two weeks--I tend to pick up a copy of the Economist at the nearest airport in order to catch up. "How nice," I say, "this pretty little newsmagazine has all the international news I need to stay abreast." Plus, of course, it has that British "edge" we culturally insecure yuppie Americans find so intoxicating. What's not to love?The only downside is that I sometimes get taken in by the magazines very subtle and quite reasonable-sounding free-market agitprop. For reasons unknown, I find myself nodding amiably when I read: "And that's what makes America so dynamic." Or: "This problem is nothing a bit of market competition can't solve."... It's stunning, how charmingly right-wing this pretty little newsmagazine is. At any rate, that's just a long way of prefacing the Economist's piece this week on the history of wheat, which dives right into the "Green Revolution" in India, and dismisses with a quick backhand any and all environmentalists who criticize the Green Revolution, genetically-modified foods, or what have you...
