The Financial Information Is Largely Gone

What has happened to the WSJ? I’ve subscribed for years. But the financial information is largely gone - and a concentration on markets, investing and economics has given way to Politico style blogging. The Bureau Chief is a former Washington Post lefty who has hired former Politico and Huffington Post activists to cover economics. It’s not working. They have reporters now who don’t understand finance. You open the app in the morning and all you see is political commentary and partisan attacks. It’s become a paid Politico style publication and everyone knows it. It’s fallen - and needs to go back to its roots of economic reporting. There are too many left wing political commentary outlets already.

… Politico and Huffington Post activists to cover economics. It’s not working.

They have reporters now who don’t understand finance.

It’s become a paid Politico style publication and everyone knows it.

It’s fallen - and needs to go back to its roots of economic reporting. There are too many left wing political commentary outlets already.
