This is true. There are plenty of articles on the Third World, and the
style is drily entertaining. "The Economist"'s political and economic
views tend to be somewhat conservative, which might not appeal to some.
Unfortunately, it is rather expensive to subscribe to (the North American
edition costs $75 a year).

The BBC also seems to provide rational, impartial coverage, though it's
mostly straight news without much analysis.
