“deeply conservative editorial page,”
that is b.s.
the editorial pages are pro and con, liberal and conservative, and committed to a free market.
the news content is liberal, as studies have shown.
Obviously, the people who wrote the posted article are typical drive-by media types themselves. "Editor and Publisher" is published by an MSM outlet, so such a description of the WSJ editorial page is not surprising.
Fox News is a positive force. Never said he was perfect. Since I’m not a tycoon I don’t have any power over this.
Relative to the networks and the other major cable news outlets, yes. But it it's all relative. Fox News, when it began, was more of a positive force than it is now.
Man you are a glass half empty guy.
You can't.
Several video studies have been done on this. You should look them up. They are eye opening.
Me too.
Yes, I confess to being a “glass half empty guy.” You always have to be critical when your opponent is the left and the MSM. You can never beat them if you are satisfied with half a loaf or less.

Defending the particular people accused of the particular "sex crimes" is IMHO honorable. By all reasonable accounts, the transcripts of the testimonies of the "victims" are simply not rationally credible; the testimonies don't make physical sense and don't accord with physical evidence. The "victims" were children bullied into accusing the adults. IMHO. One of the accused "offenders" who was finally vindicated, sort of, was railroaded by Janet Reno down in Florida, before she was tapped for Attorney General - and went on to accept being lied to by President Clinton, and being told to propagate those lies to the public. She must have accepted it; she didn't resign when the truth came out.(The Journal's stance is memory "experts" say we can't trust memory for important things at all, not names and places or who did sex crimes.)
"Recovered memories" are particularly dangerous, being essentially the products of brainwashing. People can "know" things that simply ain't so.
i didn’t see your quotes in the article.
i live in socal and remember the mcmartin case.
it turned out that the wsj was correct. they editorialized heavily, as you point out, for those accused.
within the last year the sunday lat mag had an article by one of the children who made accusations, now an adult. and he admitted to false witness.
“He should wade away the many liberals at the WSJ (starting with John Harwood) and take direct aim at the New York Times.”
Yup, when the WSJ’s liberal staff writers threatened to walk, he should have said “bounce...get out of my building. You’re all replaceable”.
People buy the WSJ for two reasons...its editorial page, and its in depth stocks and business coverage. The generic liberal news reporters are easily replaceable.
They are all trained at the same ("institutions") schools anyway.
My quotes were not from the article but from P-40; the possibility of that confusion is why I tend to modify the FR convention of using italics when quoting the article or the reply which I'm responding to. When I quote the article, I prefer to us teletype (<tt>) rather than italics, so there will be a difference.i live in socal and remember the mcmartin case.

Thank you; P-40 obviously wasn't aware of that, and I didn't remember that detail myself.
The man is merely a richer and smarter version of Generoso Pope IMHO.
I sure hope he’s not going to mess up the Journal. It is the one paper I can count on enjoying (well, I guess I’d have to add Investors Business Daily).
Think of it as adding a little artificial flavor to get more people to drink it.
What happenned to his mouth?!!!?
He spends a lot of time at airports?
