Your thoughtful analysis is appreciated. Good observation that the article was in the liberal slanted news section, rather than the more conservative opinion section of the WSJ. There were a lot of comments for the article.
The WSJ has moved so far left over the past few years that it is sad what has happened to that news outlet. They are very selective as to which articles allows comments. And the moderators will disallow any comment that criticizes any democrat too harshly. Call Trump all the names you wish, and accuse him of all types of crimes, but do not use the word “dementia” when speaking of Joe Biden because that will violate their “community rules” or some such drivel. Such a comment will not be allowed or posted. Comments many times will just be held for “review” so you can edit your comment while trying to figure out which word set off the censors. However, most of the times it is a losing battle and your comment is just “not allowed” without any opportunity to edit.
So, it makes a reader wonder how honest their financial reporting can be if their national news is so far slanted to the left as to be obviously dishonest in its reporting. The nation’s premier financial news site for decades is losing subscribers and they have no idea why.
