This story in Big Type on Drudge. It would be big if Murdoch gets the WSJ, but there is that 'family' class of Stock like they have in the NY Times to get by.

Seems unusual that somebody can own a market. But, since the XIVth Amend anything is possible.

The Foxification of TWSJ cannot be a good thing....

I see him going for some kind of strategic tie-in with the new Fox Financial Network.

When I read this story I had mixed emotions. I have read the WSJ for years. I am in my seventies and retired and still subscribe to the paper. Its editorial pages are generally on the conservative side except for immigration. In reality it is pro business. The articles written by the reporters are probably a little left of center but pretty objective and well done. Murdock buying the paper would be better than some rich liberal buying it. I am happy with the paper the way it is now, but I guess Murdoch would be OK. I think they will have to keep the editorial pages the way they are now because the readership tends to be right of center.
