This is my impression of Economist articles in general. They very rarely give you enough historical context (for me) to understand what they're talking about. It's why I ended my subscription with them.
It gave the charts so you could make your own conclusion, so seems like the opposite of what you said for this article.
DW is pretty reliable, don't know about CNA/Bloomberg.
Al Jazeera is very questionable to say the least. Worth it to read as you should also read biased news and validate content for yourself of course and on some topics their content is decent.
