They aren't. But I find something amusing that The Economist (which I subscribe to) is frequently considered left-leaning

whereas I see it what the center-right would be if we had a healthy media/political environment.



They are classical liberal, which is impossible to place in the current US Left-Right spectrum because politics have become even dumber than previously thought possible


… politics aren’t just dumb in the US. The Economist is politically homeless these days and has little faith in Labor, Tories or Lib Dems.


Impugns the source(s) trying to place them on the left-right axis more than anything.


Count how many times they use hard-left vs hard-right, or how many times they use hard-right vs any other kind of right.
