You're attacking a straw man of your own invention here. The Economist has devoted pages and pages to the Capitol attack, the COVID pandemic, climate change, social media, abortion rights etc.

I find it kind of sad that the US is so polarized that everything (like the Economist) that doesn't fit neatly into Democrat/left vs Republican/right is nonetheless forcibly pigeonholed into one of the two camps, with absurd results like you labeling the Economist -- historically a very liberal/libertarian publication -- some kind of right wing Trojan horse.

I have read the Economist many times, although not in the last 5 years. And I would not call it "liberal" at all. I stopped because of the bias.

Did the other topics that the Economist "devoted pages and pages to" get as much uptake here as this one?

I think they're pretty neutral. Perhaps your own stance has shifted away from the center instead? Something to consider.
