Murdoch would rather have his slime available to the masses

It's easier for his Fox Noise scheme machine mouthpieces to tell the sheep to "go look it up on the WSJ" if the WSJ is free.

Have you ever read the WSJ?

Outside of the op-ed pages, the paper is considered as a financial and business analogue to The Bible. They simply don't do political or ideological slants in any section of the paper that isn't the op-ed section.

Incidentally, the WSJ's op-ed section has always been freely viewable to the public at http://www.opinionjournal.com

WSJ is closer to reality

We all know the news industry has a liberal bias, and therefore slants new reports with a liberal bias.

Take away the slant, and what you get is a more conservative reality.

WSJ is right on the money. And that's why Fox News is doing better than the rest of the industry; they actually relate to the people.

People were willing to pay for the WSJ. Would anyone pay a cent for the Liberal Bible.. the New York Times? I think not.
