I stopped after the first one. If there’s any meat to be found then the last vestiges of respectable right-wing media will amplify it. Until the WSJ posts anything more than “This Is Sort Of Bad! But We Already Reported It In Full Last Year!” then there’s no point subjecting yourself to it.

- cyberphobe 4y agoExcept no one’s really doing that, they’re just generating outrage bait to prop up a retarded billionaire’s obviously nonsense claim that Twitter, a huge company, is (or was) secretly staffed exclusively by the far left. All evidence that has come out has shown not that, so they’re trying to come up with something else to be outraged about. FBI asking Twitter to stop criminals seems entirely unsurprisingly.

- wrycoder 4y agoThe WSJ is hardly right wing.
- moloch-hai 4y agoWSJ owner also owns Fox and NYPost. So, definitely, traceably, conspicuously right wing.
- wrycoder 4y agoExcept if you actually compare the three, you'll see that the WSJ is quite a bit to the left on its news pages, and somewhat left of them on its editorial pages. The quality is a lot higher, of course.
- moloch-hai 4y agoSlightly left of extreme right is still right.
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoWow, I actually unsubscribed from the WSJ because their opinion sections were so insane. Mind you, I felt the same way about the NYT and WaPo.
- moloch-hai 4y agoNYT was a huge" booster for invading Iraq. Tom Friedman, particularly: never forget. Anybody who thought NYT was ever "liberal" wasn't paying attention. WSJ editorials were loony-toons wacky even before Rupert Murdoch bought it.
