Felix Salmon of Reuters thinks that Friday’s “sensationalist” front page of The Wall Street Journal is evidence of attempts by News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch and the paper’s managing editor, Robert Thomson, to make the paper more political.
Later, Salmon notes another story on the front page about climate change contains “an institutional bias at the WSJ on this issue too, as evinced by things like the paragraph which begins with this:
Even some who agree with the IPCC conclusion that humans are significantly contributing to climate change say the IPCC has morphed from a scientific analyst to a political actor.”
Salmon concludes, “That might be a sensible move, from the point of view of selling copies, especially on the newsstand. But it will also inevitably serve to erode the trust that many people, on Wall Street especially, have in the reporting of the WSJ.”
