Kevin Francis delivers a wonderful and well-deserved bitch-slap to the lefties ensconced at the Economist:
Oh dear! This post is just another example of the decline in standards at the “Economist” and the leftward drift that seems to have accelerated since the change in Editor. You’ve drifted a long way from your supposed standards of support for “Free trade, free markets” and I’m assuming individual liberty.

Go read the post, and revel in the rest of comment #2 (no comment permalinks, apparently). The abundance of leftist BS slipped in to Economist articles as unquestioned fact is downright appalling. I’m glad the Economist is blogging, allowing comments, and printing letters to the Editors, though - one can only hope this will lead to more interaction with their readers, and some course correction.
