The Economist and the Atlantic typically do more in-depth analysis than the others, so I reference them the most.

Where do you source your news and public affairs?

Also, the reason I cited the Economist to the person is question is that someone on the right isn’t likely going to give much credence to content published by the Guardian or CBC, will they? Just as I expect you don’t give much credence to the Economist. The point of the anecdote was that while moderate conservatives of a decade ago would regarded the Economist as credible, the swivel-eyed populists of 2025 see it as just another organ of sinister elite institutions.
