Who do you imagine the audience is for the editorial pages of the WSJ?

Even long before Murdoch took it over, that part of the paper has a very different reputation and appeal than the rest.

Well it's not just a random "editorial", it's a position piece from the editors. That's why it makes the rest of the paper suspect.

The WSJ Editorial board was writing editorials outright denying climate change as late as 2016, so it's not like they have a strong track record to sully.
