44. Is it just me, or is the WSJ just another gop propaganda rag?

I view and comment on Yahoo web page often. I notice that more and more stories that raise my ire are from the WSJ; but in order to comment on them, I have to subscribe to that rag.

I take the WSJ right along with fox-nonsense. It's one and the same, as far as I'm concerned. Ever since that withered, frustrated and corrupt Aussie bought the paper, it's turned into nothing but another voice piece for the reich wing in this country.

I could be wrong? (often am.)

What's your point here? That this cant be true because some lowly columnist wrote it? rhett o rick Jul 2013 #7

Siobhan Gorman is an investigative reporter for WSJ - not a columnist. arely is wrong on this. Melinda Jul 2013 #10

Nonetheless, it was known & revealed that everything was scooped up under the surveillance regimine. Coyotl Jul 2013 #53

So Snowden's data revealed NOTHING? 99th_Monkey Jul 2013 #60

Is that what you are saying? Coyotl Jul 2013 #65

The 1st article is clearly marked opinion, but the one I posted is not marked as an opinion... Melinda Jul 2013 #8

It has a byline. It is not the opinion of the WSJ, but rather the author whose name it carries. nt arely staircase Jul 2013 #12

Does that make it any less value? If not, what's your point? nm rhett o rick Jul 2013 #14

No, and I have answered your question once. nt arely staircase Jul 2013 #15

You're wrong about this. Siobhan Gorman is an investigative reporter for the WSJ, period. Melinda Jul 2013 #16

The opinion of the WSJ would be expressed in an editorial by the editorial board and without arely staircase Jul 2013 #17
