''[[The Economist]]'' is a weekly news magazine (it calls itself a news''paper'' for historical reasons) published in Britain but read around the world. It caters to an intellectual audience, and [[Viewers Are Geniuses|knows it]].
[[Long Runners|It has been published continuously since it was founded in September 1843]], [[Single-Issue Wonk|to campaign for the repeal of the Corn Laws]]. Ever since, the magazine has never hidden its preference for [[Political Ideologies|Classical Liberalism]], but it approaches politics from a utilitarian and pragmatic perspective. Thus, it tends to feel more "centrist with a moderate classical liberal lean."
