It would be nice to have other comparable sources, not least because The Economist is very influential, and like any other institution or person, they are often wrong.
They seem pretty aware of this, and they write their articles in way that their readers can exert critical thinking.
So in the absence of alternatives, we are kind of forced/encouraged to think critically, which is not such a bad thing in the end.
I just found that Le Monde Diplomatique actually has an online version. Unfortunately it is only a packaged PDF it seems. However, the content is often a very interesting counterpoint to the standard Anglo-Saxon fare.
