  • Anne Rowe: extraordinary Obit. Editor…

    The people who’ve passed would most certainly feel honored by her portraits. Well done Ms. Rowe. I’ll stay subscribed just to hear your obituaries. Thank you.

  • It is biased pro-Israel

    The Economist was at some point the best. However, they refuse to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. They very lightly criticize Israel of anything. At some point, the pattern became clear. I canceled my subscription. I will not pay for biased news.
