because they ain't them. Unless it directly impacts them, any inconvenience to protect others is an attack on their "freedom." And when I say them, I mean them. Anyone close to them is still expendable for their personal "freedom." This boils down to greed and selfishness. They live in the land for freeloaders and psychopaths. They're human garbage and they're beginning to smell.

We must never lose sight of that. WSJ was hardly a bastion of liberal journalism before Ruprecht Morlock acquired it, but it became a bona fide RW propaganda rag once he got his warty digits on it.

It's taken a nasty libertarian turn of late. Even worse than normal. The rag of freeloaders and sociopaths.

The WSJ journalists contradict the editorial board by reporting actual facts.

The WSJ journalists are pretty good.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/wall-street-journal/

Overall, we rate the Wall Street Journal Right-Center biased due to low biased news reporting in combination with a strong right biased editorial stance. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High, due to anti-climate, anti-science stances, and occasional misleading editorials.

Guns, acres, religion, Christmas, flags, education, pandemics, masks. They do it every time. They should say Fox and the rest of the right wing media politicize these. Right wing political mouth pieces decide on a talking point Fox and the rest of the right wing media hammers and hammers a point and it becomes identified with what they're trying to say and then they decry "the media" has politicized it.

It's been a RWNJ schill for some time, but has it been forever? It printed some pretty strong stuff before and during Whitewater, but was it like that before?

The name of the rag kept it below my radar, because there are only so many hours in one's life.

Unless your in the UK of course. Some folks just don't want to play by the common rules that benefit all of us. The older I get, the more I realize that the world isn't all that different than my kindergarten class. The players really haven't changed much.

... i.e. having a government run by a self-obsessed, sociopathic wannabe fascist dictator and his band of ass-kissing incompetents and grifters has cost the nation hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Fuckers, all of 'em. There is no excuse left on the real Planet Earth to continue to support this turd.

WSJ is first, and last, and always, a for profit enterprise. That anyone is informed is a distant second place to the all mighty dollar.
