Quote of the Day by ShandaLear

[eno_]

Three words: Investor's Business Daily

[WillaJohns]

Love the Journal's editorial pages (except for Hunt's insipid writing); the rest of the paper is almost unreadable.

Sperry has written a top-notch, honest article.

On any given day, about three-fourths of the people deciding what's on the front page of the venerable newspaper are homosexuals

He shows some really guts with this remark. There are probably quite a few "venerable" newspapers with this statistic. Remarkable article.

Who was it that said: "If you control what people see (TV & papers) and hear (radio & TV) then you can control what they think"?

[Nogbad]

Who reads the WSJ for anything other than the Editorial Pages, The Financial News and Walter Mossberg?

[Fracas]

Sperry is right on target. Al Hunt is a MEAN Liberal; smiling and looking benign while putting a knife in the ribs. I always thought kindly of GB 43 for 'verbally attacking' Hunt and Woodruff in a DC restaurant after some very nasty commentary about GB 41.

http://opinionjournal.com gets you straight to the WSJ editorials and as a bonus you also get Best of the Web, reader comments, and other goodies not in the print Journal.

As for me, I am a paid subscriber to the online Journal because it's useful to me in my daily work routine.

And while there is a decidedly leftish slant to the Journal's political reporting, its business articles, especially profiles of interesting businesspeople and small-biz advice features, are well worth reading.

[RJCogburn]

Interesting article in its sum, but the opening is rather disingenuous.

But did you know that liberal homosexuals for years have helped decide what goes on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, commonly cited as a bastion of conservatism?

The problems described have to do with the liberal slant described by the author. The homosexual 'angle' is not really emphasized and of little import to his thesis. So why open with it?

[BibChr]

Great read. I once had a job where I could read the WSJ almost daily, during the Clinton years. The political coverage made me steam; that David Rogers had such a palpable case against the GOP (and conservatives) that I wanted to slap him.

But the editorial pages — man! Some of the best conservative thinking and writing you could find in the nation!
