How is the WSJ's credibility any better than a blog?
>The Wall Street Journal is the most trusted news source in the country, according to the index, with 57.7% of Americans trusting it.
All polls are biased based on how you ask questions.

I'd say little more than half the poll is about as irrelevant as a blog. Either you trust something because of confirmation bias or you don't.
Disregarding blogs as somehow being less credible, holds traditional media to a higher standard which they have chosen to abandon for partisan reporting over the past 10 years.

- reaperducer 7y agoHow is the WSJ's credibility any better than a blog If you seriously don't know the difference between a 129-year-old newspaper that has won countless journalism awards, has broken world-changing news, is respected both among its peers and by millions of readers versus some rando blog, then I really don't know what to tell you.
