The Journal's editors stress the independence and impartiality of their reporters.[27] In a 2004 study, Tim Groseclose and Jeff Milyo calculated the ideological bias of 20 media outlets by counting the frequency they cited particular think tanks and comparing that to the frequency that legislators cited the same think tanks. They found that the news reporting of The Journal was the most liberal, more liberal than NPR or The New York Times. This just demonstrates it is important to baseline. Secondly, the editorial page and the reportage are not monolithic. I'd be pretty skeptical of anecdotal claims, especially of the type outlined in that NYT link. The WSJ was also a pro/fessional tool, when it was owned by DowJones, and had a different purpose in life than a paper like the NYT.
