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.

You’re not allowed to call it right wing. My comments doing so get flagged right away. No pointing out that this bullshit is clearly politically motivated.

Heaven forbid you be critical of politically motivated federal collaboration with private industry.

The WSJ is hardly right wing.

WSJ owner also owns Fox and NYPost. So, definitely, traceably, conspicuously right wing.

Except 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.

Slightly left of extreme right is still right.

Wow, 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.

NYT 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.
