    It’s not misleading at all. The title says it wasn’t good for trade, albeit not as bad as expected.

    I can appreciate that might be confusing for you though, some struggle with parsing information.

        I never claimed to be. But clearly I can understand the title and I understand that FT is reporting on a study that somebody else did.

        It seems not everyone can work that out.

        FT is just reporting the news. It’s unfortunate that the news offends you, but they’re not really obliged to put out news that tickles your schadenfreude.

          Here’s the thing. You have twice insinuated I don’t understand the news, or how it works. , it demeans us both.

          I feel insulted and you come across as a smug prick.

          I was just saying that different papers spin the news differently. There are no papers in the UK that lack bias.

          There is no such thing as “just reporting the news”. The very selection of what you report onis the news.

          We could get into an academic debate, if you want. We could wheel out Sontag and Marshall McLuhan. We could go over all the basic first year undergraduate lessons in journalistic practice, or we could just drop this and move on.

          I suspect you won’t be able to restrain yourself though. You’ll have to point out for a third time that you think some people are incapable of being able to understand things that you, yourself, seem to be the one struggling with.

          Got 13 downvotes on the article. Not sure why. FT is not a bad source.

            A lot of people seem to confuse the downvote button with “i don’t like the news”. That’s not what the downvote button is for. The news seems legit, and i’m glad you posted it because it’s interesting to know.
