If you talk to the reporters who work for various big media companies, they insist that they have true editorial independence from the business side of their companies. They insist that the news coverage isn't designed to reflect the business interests of their owners. Of course, most people have always suspected this was bullshit -- and you could see evidence of this in things like the fact that the big TV networks refused to cover the SOPA protests. But -- until now -- there's never necessarily been a smoking gun with evidence of how such business interests influences the editorial side.

Leftscum fighting leftscum. There was an article here today about the left fracturing along victimology fault lines.
I hope neither side wins.
PS The WSJ appears to have become a wholly owned subsidiary of the GOPe aka just another set of Big Government leftscum.
Very helpful. Thank you.
I’m glad you found it off interest.
And I hope their not-winning goes on for a really long time...
The Wall Street Journal is part of the treason cartel that is helping to flood our borders with illegals. I no longer purchase the rag....thank goodness for a site like FR where you can get news like this that you might not find elsewhere:)
A good attorney job security endeavor and method of income redistribution.
The WSJ is more left wing than the NYT. I have a friend who works there in content and he is very open about Murdoch’s liberal leanings.
I regularly listen to the John Batchelor show. He often has WSJ columnists on and to a person they sing the same pro immigration song. No daylight at all between them. You either support open borders or you are a nativist, according to them. I had a crush on Mary Kissel, but so craven did she seem, that my infatuation faded away like the morning dew.
Maybe using that Gmail account to discuss attacks on Google wasn’t so clever?!
Motion Picture Association of America (?)
Try Investor Business Daily. Much more conservative.
I’m not a fan of Google either, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t competent to expose corruption.
The Internet and the digital revolution upset their lock on the music biz. Their last stranglehold on the business was the radio stations (if you can control what people get to hear you can control what they but) BUT that is fading fast because people are either using their phones with on board storage or using cloud/streaming services. And BIG Media doesn't own the streaming services (yet).
So they are going to try and sabotage the competition and then buy the low hanging fruit in the streaming services to get control again.
With Chris Dodd, former Communist Senator from Connecticut, as chairman and CEO of the MPAA, is anyone surprised that they would act this corruptly?
The streaming services are becoming dominated by very powerful companies - Apple and Google in particular.
This leak is very bad news for MPAA. Which is good news.
Yeah, but that is just a case of "Same Circus, Different Clowns" as far as musicians/recording artists are concerned especially the indie artists who were actually starting to make a decent living in the new digital world because big companies were not able to control the system of delivery or manufacture etc. . Watch though one of the members of the RIAA will make a run at Spotify or one of the other smaller streaming companies and try to muscle the system.
I agree. They are the real deal.
The editorial page is terrible.
