The WSJ has a history of climate change denial too. They are 100% not a publication that follows science at all.

You may also not be surprised to know they're owned by News Corp.




In particular, this is in their Opinion section. WSJ News still has a great deal of credibility and integrity, though maybe center-right pro-business. The Opinion section, however, has long been divorced from reality; the joke is that it’s simply wishful thinking salve to corporate executives.

I'm soon to be a non-subscriber, but I might have kept my subscription longer if the WSJ app had a setting to suppress the opinion section. It's not even interesting, and I'm far from a doctrinaire left-liberal.


I like to triangulate my news from several sources. RealClearPolitics is an excellent site, it provides the opposing views on issues from the right and from the left.

Otherwise, you're in danger of just feeding your confirmation bias.


My dad is a life long WSJ reader, it's become the print version of Fox News.
