Which WSJ ?

Absinthe,

I rather doubt it. While my white-collar job might be a biasing factor, almost everyone I know who reads it does so for the business articles. (And those who just buy it to display it do so to look business-savvy, not to ingratiate themselves with a political movement).

If I had a Euro for every time the supremely superficial and irrelevant “liberal/conservative” paradox doltishly propagated by George HW Bush to the eternal detriment of American popular political perception has absolutely nauseated me, I could get this sickening feeling seen to in a Swiss clinic.

No really, I’m made of sterner stuff. I can just about handle it (for now).

“61.9% of the news I consume is conservative”

I bet it’s about 90% of what comes out the other end.

Chef, are you sure the op-ed page isn’t subsidizing your original reporting?

They’re probably classifying the NYT as liberal (and perhaps doubleplus liberal), while classifying the WSJ as ‘neutral’ (cause it’s, you know, a busines paper).

And probably many other data and science-based sources are considered liberal, because that’s the way liberals roll.

I wonder if the tilt of the WSJ editorial page since Murdoch took over may be skewing its readership. I used to love reading it because they had reporting no one else did, but I can’t stand to subsidize their op-ed page.
