Hooray for the WSJ!

“The Wall Street Journal's opinion section had a scathing response Thursday to the 280 staffers who had signed a letter this week claiming it pushed 'misinformation'.

In a note published by the section's editorial board late Thursday night, the fiery rebuttal vowed that the opinion section wouldn't 'wilt under cancel-culture pressure' following the protest letter sent to publisher Almar Latour.

The board said that it would not be responding directly to staffers who signed the letter but hoped to reassure readers that it will continue to fight back against 'a culture of growing progressive conformity and intolerance'.”

In this job market it probably wouldn’t be too hard to replace problematic PC/cancel culture staff. I’d begin to slowly shit can EVERYONE on that list.

I was reading an article about the Portland deal from a couple nights ago where the mayor pulled a move akin to Minneapolis mayor before him, i.e. pander to the crowd by joining them & trying to make speeches........mayor(s) wouldn't commit to 'defund the police'......then the crowd turned on them.

Seems pertinent to use it in this case:

"This tiger they've been riding on the whole time? Well, its turning on them and will devour them as well"

Whole-heartedly agree with this ^ !

Alot of this liberal thinking comes from young people who attended one of our higher education indoctrination centers. I hired alot of people in my working years but I have to say that if I was hiring today just because you had a college education it would give me pause. I'd have to go more with a gut feeling over your degree. Too many of these products of academia are not the best.

 
I've always enjoyed the WSJ. Back when I could get good deals (1/2 off a year's subscription), I would subscribe. Love reading an actual paper paper. Reading news online, not so much. I get enough good news links here to check out (except for paywalls).

The WSJ is the most balanced newspaper, in my opinion. It has not fallen to the SJW coolaid.

If they're union it would be, and a lot of newspapers are. I don't know about the WSJ in particular.

^^^^^^^
I read it daily for ten years. I cancelled thanks to the USPS. The paper was delivered a day late to my PO box and often in a poor condition. WSJ always credited me. I got great stock ideas from them. They often broke stories before everyone else and the articles were comprehensive and indepth. They broke the story on Dr. McGuire, former CEO of United Healthcare for securities fraud.

Indeed, WSJ remains fairly centrist in its reporting, if anything leaning right. A far contrast from it's neighbor the NYT which has had a path of destruction wrought on its editorial board by its far-left employees.

The last 20-years, has seen the 'participation trophy generation' enter the workforce and rise to middle-management and some have now entered upper management. Actions that are more akin to union organizing, the promotion of 'outrage culture' and the practice of cancelling/doxing has taken hold. The tech industry which used to be the domain of the slide-rule/calculator engineer is now the domain of the social engineer looking to use their skills to alter society and shame/castigate those who disagree with them.

I hope this helped for clarity.

It's interesting that the signers of the memo did the same "cherry picking" of opinion pieces written by conservative authors. I guess we are required to assume that every opinion article written by the unanimously virtuous liberal authors is without error or bias.....

They probably trying to piggy-back on the mob at the New York Times that actually got one of their editors fired over the same thing.

WSJ has roughly 7000 employees, to put the 280 number into perspective.

WSJ>SJW

Good equation.

I loved it - especially this:

In the spirit of collegiality, we won’t respond in kind to the letter signers. Their anxieties aren’t our responsibility in any case.

What a great way to tweak their noses.

I pay $20/month for the online subscription. Rarely do i regret it.
