Joe Biden 1, Wall Street Journal 0 (Ohio rape story)

[Herx]

Wall Street Journal (July 13, 2022): Link

Imagine, indeed. The tale is a potent post-Roe tale of woe for those who want to make abortion a voting issue this fall. One problem: There’s no evidence the girl exists. PJ Media’s Megan Fox was first to point this out, and so far no one has been able to identify the girl or where she lives.

Wall Street Journal (July 14, 2022): Link

It appears President Biden was accurate when he related a story about a 10-year-old Ohio girl who was raped and traveled to Indiana for an abortion. We wondered Tuesday about the case, after no one had confirmed its accuracy or any public report of the crime, though the story had made the media rounds for nearly two weeks.

1. The victim was a minor. What did these jackasses expect. "no one had confirmed". Did the WSJ and

the other rags event try to confirm it?

Obviously not

[Herx]

2. They know their readers are dumbasses

Their right-wing readers don't understand that you cannot release any identifying information about a rape victim. Let alone a 10 year old.

7. Sure. You might want to to look into the demographics of who reads The Wall Street Journal.

Advertisers stand in line to take out space in the paper.

They know their readers are dumbasses

I'm one of them.

What's on your reading list? Don't be shy.

10. Do you read the opinion section?

If so, why?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

12. I believe we have some unfinished business on the table to attend to first; namely,

What's on your reading list? Don't be shy.

Even Sarah Palin was able to fabricate an answer to that question. It was obviously a made-up answer, but at least she said something.

An answer might help us understand this comment of yours:

They know their readers are dumbasses

Dow Jumps 500 Points on Upbeat Economic Data

Source: Wall Street Journal

U.S. stocks rebounded Friday after retail spending figures beat forecasts and investors reviewed another round of earnings updates from big banks.

The S&P 500 added 1.6% and is poised to end a five-session losing streak. The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite gained 1.3%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 573 points, or 1.9%. All three indexes are still on pace for weekly losses.

Investors are trying to assess how officials will balance the need to tame inflation with concerns over a potential recession. U.S. consumer inflation accelerated to 9.1% in June, a pace not seen in more than four decades, causing some traders to expect that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates more aggressively to tame it. At the same time,
tightening of financial conditions could weigh on growth.

More than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity is tied to household spending. Recessions typically are accompanied by a pullback by consumers. The Commerce Department reported that Americans’ retail spending rose 1% in June from the prior month, after declining in May.

"One of these things is not like the other."

Thanks in advance.

13. It was a rhetorical question. You read the WSJ opinion page

Yup, you're a WSJ subscriber, without a doubt. You know a question strikes a nerve when they reply, "your post count is low!"

Because Socrates famously said, "An argument is valid of an only it is made by a person with a long time in a message board".
🤣
Tip: Don't pay money to write right-wing opinion. You just paid money to an outlet that denied a true rape/ abortion story.

6. info regarding sex abuse victims is generally not made public

because of attitudes like WSJ

[BeyondGeography]

3. That's not even your standard non-apology apology

Arrogant, hateful assholes.

[tishaLA]

4. "it appears"

They have a confession. They have a police report. They have the Dr's documentation. And it still hurts them to say "we were wrong and Pres Biden was right." They'd rather rely on the word of *PJ Media*!

[Skittles]

5. "post-Roe tale of woe"

they act as if such a scenario is an isolated incident

[yellowcanine]

8. "no one has been able to identify the girl". She was effin 10 YEARS OLD!

The editors at the WSJ need a competent editor. They should have known that this was an absurd sentence given that no reputable news source would identify a 10 yr old rape victim.

[crickets]

11. They do know. They don't care.

The cruelty was the point, and it pains them to let it go, so they sorta... don't. It's disgusting.

[yellowcanine]

9. It appears the WSJ editors were sucking hind tit on that editorial.

Someone has to say it.
