I suggested the Economist because the international coverage (not US) is quite good
As usual there is plenty of tripe in it but you can filter that
Guardian increasingly just seems to employ writers of opinion pieces which are at best drivel in some niche appealing to the base way
The Independent is owned by a Russian oligarch and it shows in some of the coverage, website is shocking as well
The disappearance of critical thinking and the increasing tendancy to pump out tripe opinion pieces trying to appeal to a narrow “us v them” base is representative of a sad decline of the British press. The world isn’t binary left/right, woke/ conservative, etc and the press need to get their heads around that
There is good journalism out there, following the journalist on twitter usually means you can pick up on the good stuff, Jen Williams and Liam Thorpe are two great examples
