Obama campaign exposes WSJ as a lying piece of right-wing ass wipe.
After the Wall Street Journal expressed their "concern" that Senator Obama's fund raising had fallen off steeply, and that his June numbers were "underwhelming", it was announced today that Senator Obama raised $52 million in June, more than double that of the senile old fart with the dribble glass. It's good to see that Ruppert Murdoch is keeping his promise not to politicize the news with his latest media toy.

1. The WSj is a work of fiction.

3. Oh that in itself would be a useless bit of redundancy.
On the other hand, $52m speaks for itself, likely much louder than the WSJ.

5. The WSJ, WAPO and the NYT all have jumped on Obama's back
and are riding him quite hard these days.
They skew polls, report flip flops that never happened,
and lie and editorialize as much as possible.
Why they aren't been called out on this each and every day
that they do it, is beyond me.

6. Murdoch ruined the Wall Street Journal!! I used to enjoy some of their articles.
But most of the best editorial writers have quit the WSJ!!

8. i dunno.. didn't the WSJ source an Obama campaign person?
maybe it was a bit of well-poisoning by the Obama campaign... a beautiful tactic when used by the forces of good against the forces of murdoch ;)
turnabout is fair play after all.
