> I'm having a hard time understanding what your complaint is. That the word reliable was being used to describe the FT. 'Reliable' within a certain narrow context for the people trashing our potential (ie, the capital class)? Yes. 'Reliable' within a broader context, where we get to the root causes of our catastrophic inequality, our over extraction of resources, our environmental destruction, our war mongering leaders, etc? Also yes; but in precisely the wrong way. They can be relied on to support whatever makes the yacht class more money in the next few quarters. This matters because corporate media has been truly complicit in much of our impending doom/s; the FT being far from an exception. Handy tip: If someone's point seems very obvious, like where bears shit, it's usually worth reading the comment again to see if you've missed something. Ie in this case, the entire second half of my comment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

They are financial news, if you want to read news or opinion articles about other topics go read something else. Something being important doesn't mean it should be written about everywhere. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
