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."

He was agreeing with you, rkzenrage, that the fact that the Economist is a British publication is not relevant.
I was not arguing with Bruce.

I didn't say you were. I just said that you and tw agree that being British doesn't make the Economist is not anti-American.

So, what does make it anti-American?
What was the point of you restating something that I stated?

What wasn't straight about that answer? I won't deny that tw often writes confusingly, but pretty much every sentence in that post was direct and to the point.
