Yeah the WSJ comments are like Youtube if Youtube was only watched by Principal Skinner and Mr. Burns. Both John Carreyrou's Bad Blood and Hope & Wright's Billion Dollar Whale discuss at length how their reporting for WSJ's investigative news division was generally at odds with the WSJ's editorial stance, and how they kept expecting it to be a problem yet it somehow never was. The NYT, on the other hand, brought us Jayson Blair and Judith Miller. If I could figure out how to pay for just the journalism in the WSJ I would. Well, that and Mansion because it's the most gobsmackingly out-of-touch bit of reportage I see on a weekly basis. They do more than lean into the stereotype, they roll around in it like a dog with a gopher carcass.
