Which is the reason Google still shows WSJ in its search results. So, you can decide to still go there even though it is a subscription website. But Google only works with things its bot can see. What you suggest amounts to boosting WSJs search position despite only seeing a small part of their content, because "we know that they are good". Doesn't sound like a great idea.
From the fact that I'm searching for e.g. a black & white old Western movie, it doesn't follow that I only want movies I can view on the internet right this second. Edit: I could very well be satisfied with "here are the names of popular ones, but you'd have to go to their publishers since they're long out of print.
