Yes, the WSJ editorial page was pretty consistently conservative, while the front page was consistently liberal. Presumed to be deliberate policy.

But the WSJ conservatism didn’t extend everywhere. They were never very strong on right to life, and they favored free trade even when it was tilted to undermine our manufacturing.

Still, I agree it was one of the more reliably conservative media sources around.

Yes, I suppose it’s an exaggeration to say that only liberals win Pulitzer Prizes. More likely one could say that it’s around 90% liberals who win them.
