Apparently besides writing his opeds of liberal hate and lies for the WSJ, AL Hunt has a lot of control over the so called news articles published by the WSJ.
I Pinged Miss Marple for more specifics. Hopefully she can share her wisdom and the history of Hunt with us.
In the 1996 election I let my WSJ subscription expire and did not renew it due to the venom and vile opeds by Hunt. Looking back, that was a wise decision on my part. I never fund my enemies when I have any choice.

Mr. Hunt invites comments to al.hunt@wsj.com.
As you can see, although Mr. Hunt does not control ALL of the news content, he has a heavy influence over all news that comes from Washington, and I would guess is able to pressure other editors as well. I am most interested in his duties in directing POLLING!
