The WSJ is losing readership because its Editorial Page has become some sort of weird corporatist shill for the GOPe, illegal immigrants, and crony capitalists.

They used to be ideologically conservative.

No more.

I don’t read their editorials any more. They make me throw up.

The WSJ is also losing because their bread and butter was the daily stock quotes and other market price listings. The internet wiped that out ten years ago. So now, they’re a daily newspaper without content living on air miles subscriptions.

WSJ is still the best all-around paper around, though I agree the Opinion section is not what it used to be.

I read WSJ daily on my iPad on the way to work in the morning. They did an excellent job adapting to the tablet format.

While it is still a good paper, I noticed the shift of WSJ’s opinion section to promoting illegal aliens, who certainly do not constitute a pool of potential subscribers. And more likely will make them lose readers. Maybe WSJ just has an editor in the pocket of foreign interest groups.
