You have the right answer. I repeatedly confirmed that I posted facetiously. You even quoted Happy Monkey who summarized what was obvious:

tw cited the Economist.
Bruce sarcastically referred to it as "...patriotic American... oh wait, that's a British publication".
tw then facetiouly said
"The Economist is anti-American because it is published by Brits."
Where is the problem? Or did you only read the intentional distortion by TheMercenary who coat tailed a joke on a facetious reply. Happy Monkey so easily summarized reality, you would even quote it, Happy Monkey’s summary would be confirmed by the author, and still you want it explained?

Bruce was disparaging The Economist because tw reads it and sometimes quotes from it. Bruce’s post was a backhanded slap that was followed with an obviously facetious reply. How many times must it be explained by multiple people?

Kudos to TheMercenary for playing a joke so effectively.
