- fakedang 6y agoWSJ has declined to a significant level imo. Can't pass by some articles without hearing the phrase "radical left media" or "liberal media" or whatever. Financial news and if US business news coverage isn't super important to be granular for you, then go for the gold standard which is the Financial Times. The Economist approach doesn't appeal much to me, since most of the time they are like a free-market hammer to which everything looks like a nail. Tech news, Stratechery.

The video in this article, even though I appreciate the criticism of Cuomo. Also right now, in the front page of WSJ, there is an article criticizing the "woke orthodoxy". I'm no fan of wokeness, but I would have preferred some balanced criticism of the right too from a professional publication. Or just stick to professional reporting like FT.
