He said "politically oriented .. conservative ax".

That's rubbish. The Economist certainly has an economic agenda is wants to
push, and states it up front. In addition there are certain things in the
political arena it thinks are important, like PR, written constitution, etc,
but as with its economic agenda, it is very up front with its aims. I can't
see anything on which you could have possibly based this statement.
