The Economist does manage some nice turns of phrase.
Lol, I haven't read the Economist in ages. I was to annoyed by every article ending with some call for neo-liberal deregulation as the solution to all our problems. Also, the fawning coverage of US administrations (Bush, not sure about Obama) was getting a bit ridiculous.
That said, they have some of the smartest writers and if you want to know what's going on in, say, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan or Malaysia right now, it's the right address.
What is their editorial stance now?

Frederick Wiseman died. He was one of the great documentary filmmakers. I love his films - but then I love Rohmer, Barry Lyndon and Ceylan - i.e. long films where not much happens, lol.
