Bobulinski offered his info to everybody in the media. Nobody wanted it.

You’re rather late to the party since no one I know subscribes to left wing media.

“But you new that.”

But you knew that. And I didn’t proofread my damn comment.

I’ve never subscribed & I’m not sticking up for them, but Kimberley Strassel (who writes for them) has been all over this (as well as the Russia hoax & similar lunacy).

Chill. It’s way too early for something that happened last night to be in a national paper. It’ll be on the web page today or in the paper tomorrrow.

That said, their news slant us liberal and obsessed with COVID. Editorial stance is good though.

I do get that paper, hard copy. I won’t be cancelling, but I do notice how awful their election coverage is. The editorial pages keep telling us that it’s two different divisions with a wall in between. Their news division sucks. Their editorials pages are balanced. Peggy Noonan is past her prime.

Subscribed for 35 years. Cancelled four years ago. The news had become so overwhelmingly biased, I had to quit. Sad turn for a great paper.

Amazing that it took so log for so many to wake up.

You know, I actually did this about 2 weeks ago. While I love the WSJ op-ed page, they are essentially the NYT with some conservative opinion writers. The "objective" news reporting is the same garbage as the WAPO or USA Today.

The best part about canceling your subscription is they ask you why you are doing it. (You actually have to call to cancel).

They are pretty expensive anyway.
I get a cheap trial occasionally and then cancel.

It’s going the way of the National Review. They had Gold and sold out to the devil.

I used to LOVE the WSJ. 4 sections, all readable and enjoyable. They started scaling back and in 2016 I noticed their politics shifting and I cancelled.

I canceled my subscription a year or so ago when I realized they were also part of the Swamp. I see them on the pile of my former “go to” sources along with the Drudge Report. Very unfortunate.

Again, I’m not saying that the WSJ is perfect but it is the least repugnant of the big three. I searched Hunter Biden and found articles and editorials going back to the beginning of the month. It’s slow but steady. They always through in some dig at Trump but for the most part are the most balanced national newspaper of its kind. The New York Post goes after an entirely different audience.
