I subscribed to the WSJ for several years (about a decade ago). It kept its opinions on the Editorial page.

The editorial/opinion pages were two facing pages. One third of one page provided the opinions of the paper’s editors. They were harshly critical of President Clinton at the time. That was it for the entire newspaper.

Most newspapers are liberal and they make their opinions known in any article that involves any politics or ideology. If you want an opinion-free zone, you might get it in sports, business, local news, and weather. The paper’s opinion are often in the headline to make sure everyone “gets it.” Basically, most papers are left-wing rags. They deserve all the scorn that is heaped upon them.

The WSJ was, and may still be, a classy professional newspaper. Perhaps the same can be said of Investors’ Business Daily - at least I like some of their work posted here. If I were to subscribe (either digitally or newspaper), I would probably subscribe to one of these two.

I've subscribed to WSJ for decades and consider it the true newspaper of record. Some writers have demonstrated a dislike for some in politics, especially the Clintons. On balance, I'd say WSJ is doing the job it set out to do.
