[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been a subscriber to WSJ since 1990, and I always had a love/hate relationship with it.  I loved the coverage but I disliked some of the editorial writing, and I found some of their foreign coverage to be demeaning (back then it was still a bit of Japan bashing).  But on the whole I thought it was indispensable.

But last year I canceled my subscription.  It has degenerated into a combination of Murdoch political platform and reform school for wayward republican outcasts.  It's too much, and it's sad because it was a respectable conservative media outlet that appealed to people regardless of political affiliation.[/quote]

ITA. The only reason we still get it is that we now have a free subscription, and it's nice to get the news synopsis in the left hand column as you leave the house in the morning. Their articles used to be quite balanced regardless of the editorial page's platform but that is no longer the case. You'd be hard pressed these days to find an economics article without a ten to one ratio of quotes by Cato or American Enterprise Institute robots to say, someone from Brookings. Apparently they do think their readers are a bunch of morons.

And they way they've whitewashed the whole phone hacking scandal is laughable.[/quote]
