What is your opinion of the Wall Street Journal?

[Nlighten1]

Is it a right-wing rag or can it be trusted for accurate reporting?

[Loonman]

1. Op-Ed page is Bush-junta garbage

But the rest of the paper is fine.

[La_Serpiente]

2. I have no problem with its article writing

what I do have a problem with is its opinion page. It is a huge loud mouth for the right.

[Skittles]

8. ditto

its op-ed pages are rightwing garbage

[Kathy in Cambridge]

10. Yup-Editorial Pages are Pure Propaganda

but the business writing is excellent.

3. Reading the editorial page...

Is like sticking a flashlight up the ass of the Republican Elephant. But like Noam Chomsky says, Sometimes it's good to read the WSJ because they actually spell out their plans and beliefs without the sugar coating they use in the rest of the media. It's almost refreshing to read Norquist-esque evil scheming in the mainstream, in plain language, instead of seeing it couched in the skein of "centrism," like it's presented in the rest of the media...at least you know who your enemies are and what they're thinking.

4. Fish wrapper

bird cage liner and puppy training comes to mind.

5. Op-ed maybe. but otherwise its the best financial paper in the world

along with the Financial Times, of course.

6. My current event came from this, Only one my father let me use

So I grew up with this paper. Good for business.:eyes:

7. Great reporting, op-ed page is a loony bin

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Great? Or Acceptable?

Me, i don't see the attraction of that paper. Very little in-depth coverage of news, almost zero on science, and an overemphasis on how nearly everything relates to business. (I know, that's their job. But, i don't see how that makes it a great newspaper.)

I'd say the news section is competent. But, the op-ed is wild-eyed, two dimensional thinkers writing daily screeds against anyone with whom they disagree.

14. Is hypocrit John Fund - still part of their editorial board?

Found his downfall rather amusing - though sad. Showed him to be an opportunistic dirtbag who will moralize and rail against others but takes personal moral relativism to new heights. But of course, being well embraced by the far-right has its advantages... falls from grace are short lived. Have already seen him on the talking heads circuit, and imagine he is back in the fold writing wild-eyed fanatic stuff on the editorial pages.

11. The Nation calls it

the country's "cheerfully fascist rag", and, given that my boss subscribes to it and I've had the misfortune of reading it, especially the nazi op-ed pages, I have to wholeheartedly agree.

[Jack The Tab]

12. P...O...S....

Piece of shit. I don't bother reading anything printed or linked to it.

[Jacobin]

13. RW rag

15 years ago, it was a decent centrist paper, although conservative leaning in most respects.

Now it is a shill for the junta and PNACers.

[11 Bravo]

15. Right wing drivel

But unlike the Washington Times, it is at least reasonably well-written right wing drivel.
