My husband was a business college econ major in college in the 70’s and that is when he started subscribing to the WSJ. When I pointed out the editorials were not econ-logical anymore and Gigot on the WSJ tv show had alarming opinions, he scoffed;even when we heard Levin’s opinion yesterday.
We’ll see. As for myself, I only read it for the fashion, food and decor ;)
I stopped reading it in the late 1990’s.
Gigot spent about 10 years on PBS News Hour pretending to be a Conservative.
I had no idea he had been promoted to Editorial Page Editor.
From about 1970-1995, I learned almost everything I knew about Conservatism from the WSJ Ed Page and National Review Magazine.
Today, both of them are politically useless.
Ditto.
I’ve been a WSJ subscriber for decades. I do recognize the editorial slant toward cheap imported labor and corporate handouts.
When Robert Bartley was editor of the Journal editorial page, I was a biting conservative section. When Bigot (the token “conservative” on PBS! news hour, it became boring and pro Amnesty. I stopped reading and switched to Investors Business Daily.
He did, I haven't watched it for years.
He needed a dentist and a set of balls, but with a name like gigi gigot, maybe not.
From time-to-time, there’s still a nugget or two, but not enough to warrant a daily reading of it.
I figured I didn't need to pay for editorials that insulted my intelligence and demanded that I give up my freedom and hard work to support people who broke into my house (country) demanding that I care for them.
Then I saw a government more than willing to look the other way for crimes being committed each and every day by illegal aliens and those who abetted them, for which I would serve long prison sentences (i.e. stealing IDs, using stolen IDs and selling stolen IDs to others!!!)
Nope, each time I read or hear an entitled person tell me how I just need "more compassion toward others."
I do have compassion, that's why I donate and serve the poor and underprivileged but I have no "compassion" for those people who demand my money to care for those they designate as "deserving." I also do not respect who want my relatives, who aren't doing so well themselves but don't look to government to care for them, yet get tax bills to pay for illegal aliens that the government desire to live among us.
You will notice, these privileged few at the WSJ, NYT and others, never move illegal aliens into their homes, provide parking space on their property for mobile homes to house illegal alien families nor do they turn their multi-million dollar condos into "housing for the poor," only in my town is "qualified for affordable housing."
