I’ve just let my subscription to the WSJ expire. As far as I’m concerned the WSJ is nothing more that a mouthpiece for the corporations. I don’t recall the WSJ laying any of the blame for the destruction of our economy on corrupt corporations and criminal corporate big shots but solely on a nefarious and incompetent USG.

The Wall Street Journal is of, by, and for Big Business so nobody should be surprised at their ignoring — or even denying — the climate change problem.

The name of this rag is the “Wall Street” Journal..why would they want to print the truth about anything? We listened to the MBAs and look what they have done to us.

For more than ten years I listened to AM Talk Radio while eating lunch. Not once did I hear a spokesman for a major scientific organizations call into a show to correct an error. If the public remains ignorant about the reality of global warming the public relations departments for the National Academy of Science, the National Science Foundation, the American Geophysical Union and the American Association for the Advancement of Science need to share some of the blame.

The Wall Street Journal is part of a larger corporate empire built upon a misrepresentation of scientific findings and skewing of public discourse. While they continue to misinform for pecuniary gain in other areas of news and opinion as well, the gross distortion of science is in itself reason enough to end the charade of granting this news conglomerate waivers for excessive concentration of ownership in key media markets. We need to bring fairness and balance back to the so-called “news” business. Its time to take a hard look at all the corporate subsidies and perks given to News Corporation, save the taxpayers some money, and bring honesty and integrity back as the guiding principles of public discourse.Boycott News Corporation and all its advertisers and supporters to get their attention. Wite your member of Congress and demand that the practice of giving News Corporation a free ride with regard to media ownership rules to and end.

Don’t feel too bad, all their editorials are just as bad, whatever the topic. I cancelled my subscription after the gratuitous racist joke “How do you spot an anti-Semite on a Vienna railway station? It’s a trick question – they all are.” At least I think it was Vienna; the thrust of the piece was that it didn’t really matter which town in Europe you picked.
