Yep. asdf, while The Economist is European too, what you can't sense (well, because you can't read it) is the constant barrage of the same coming from our own media, and the mouths of our own politicians. (And it's worse here in Central-Eastern Europe than in Western Europe, because we critics have virtually no voice - except for right-wing populists who pick up leftist arguments and twist them into nationalist BS, and that makes the situation worse.)
