The WSJ's rep, last time I checked, was a solid newsroom, and a insane, frothing at the mouth editorial team, with a strict wall between the two.

Any evidence for the idea that the news section of the WSJ is corrupted so absolutely that they cannot be relied on in any story?

Unfortunately this is in the Opinion section which has been known to be reliably frothing at the mouth, anti-goverment, ayn randian propaganda machine.

Oh, that does make a very big difference.

I think it's trite to say 'ad hominem' in cases like this. Ad hominem refers to the quality of the reasoning.

Here, we depend on the WSJ for the facts as well. If they are an untrustworthy source, that's very relevant.
