I’m not sure how useful it is to speculate about some massive media conspiracy to drum up bad news about countries with worker’s protections and universal healthcare to try and discredit those things in the US, rather than accept the Occam’s Razor explanation that those countries do in fact just have bad news sometimes.
Sorry, but that's again a straw man: No one claimed that those countries never have bad news. Those countries having bad news and the Economist exploiting it also doesn't really seem like a crazy conspiracy theory.
