WSJ writes Sanders hit piece gets called out on their bs by economist they cite
« on: September 17, 2015, 09:30:25 pm »
So the other day the Wall Street Journal writes aSanders hit piece, where they cite economist Gerald Friedman. Funny thing happens, Friedman comes across the piece, and decides to call them out on the bs. Now let's all point and laugh at the WSJ.

It would be a lot easier to do a compare-contrast if the WSJ didn't require a subscription to read online.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

I read the opening line, die of laughter, respawn, and close the tab.

Ironbite-I really can't take anything serious after that.

I have an officemate who reads the WSJ.  Apparently he still hasn't gotten the memo that it's a Murdoch property.

The right-wing fail is strong in this article.

Well, at least the WSJ's still respectable overall.  Which is more than I can say for New York Post.

Sorry about that, I forgot to mention that  there is  trick to reading them for free, by copying the headline into whatever search engine you use, and you should get the full article, the same goes for any article from a place that requires a subscription.

The WSJ has always been crap though, at least on the features pages.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

True. That said, that's probably what makes it more insidious in a way.
