Even before it was bought by a far right Japanese outfit, The Economist always bullsh*tted whatever the interests of the English Toffs required. This includes participating in the media frenzy that sold the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs to Western public and all that entailed.


Can you cite a source on the Japanese connection? I don't see anything obvious in their Wikipedia pages.

I do see Exor (Agnelli), Rothschild, Cadbury, and Schroders families, but nothing clearly Japanese, nor Japanese far-right.


Sorry, that was the Financial Times. Regardless of that tidbit, the other statements still hold true. Unfortunately.
