Before Murdoch acquired Dow Jones, Inc., which includes the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the WSJ provided a reasonable alternative, politically, to the print versions of the LameStreamMedia (NYTimes, WashPost, LATimes, BostGlobe, ect) as well as a news alternative to the TV venues of the LameSTreetMedia led by ABC, CBS, CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, NBC & NPR.

After acquisition by Murdoch and the appointment of his Liberal son over Dow Jones, the WSJ gradually became, politically, a full fledged member of the LameStreamMedia on all its primary news pages. There remained a modicum of Conservative views among the editors of the WSJ opinion page, which was not a “discrepancy”. The prior owners of Dow Jones, in their agreement to sell to Murdoch, retained control of the editorial board of the WSJ opinion page.

The rest of the paper has been on a politically slow downhill slide into the editorial arms and control of Leftists and all their political agendas.

They've always been nothing more than paid mouth pieces of the powers-that-be. In 1986 the WSJ lied through their teeth about the benefits of the Simpson-Mazzoli Immigration Act in their news pages and almost daily in their editorial pages. I learned a lot about who runs this country from that treachery.
