Bye-Bye Wall Street Journal

Here’s the letter I will be sending to the editors of the Wall Street Journal shortly.

To The Editors of the Wall Street Journal:

After 34 years of being a subscriber, I have decided that it’s time for me to cancel my subscription to the Journal.  The last eight years have been very eye-opening to me, letting me see that the Journal has become no better than the tabloid press, with its Trump-bashing, both on the “news” side and the editorial side. Your publishers love to claim that the news part of the Journal is not “editorial”, yet your so-called news writers have no problem with sentences like this:  “Throughout Trump’s campaign, the Republican Party candidate was bombastic, profane, and frequently untruthful, claiming the 2020 race was stolen from him, that he held no responsibility for the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on Congress and that President Biden had orchestrated his indictments and felony convictions.”  Blatantly opinion, not fact.  

I used to admire the Journal’s investigative reporting, yet your paper has ignored the most important stories of the past four years, preferring to rely on government and academic spokesmen who are biased in favor of the Left and the Deep State.  About that 2020 election being “stolen”, did you ever really send a team of reporters to all of the swing states where cheating was in plain sight, to find out if the Democrats in power were perhaps lying to the public?  Did you investigate the numerous cases where there were more votes than eligible voters?  Did you bother to check on whether that “burst water pipe” in Georgia really happened, or whether the Democrat vote counters sent the Republican poll watchers away so they could introduce thousands of fake ballots?  No, you just took the governments’ word for it that things were all being done correctly.  Also, did you bother to mention that the main reason none of the court cases filed about the election interference were in the Trump campaign’s favor was that the cases were not even heard?  It wasn’t that Trump’s charges were found to be without merit, but because none of those charges were allowed to come before the courts in the first place.

The other, and perhaps bigger story that you and all of the rest of the legacy media have buried is the one that is causing the most havoc worldwide, resulting in millions of unnecessary deaths and injuries.  That is the story of the mRNA Covid “vaccines”, that, by the way, the Journal is still pushing in your health columns.  Daily there are more and more tales of innocent citizens getting shots, and dying shortly thereafter of heart attacks, strokes, and turbo-cancers.  Attorney Robert Barnes has exposed how the DOD and FDA paid for and approved shots which they knew were harmful, (through Pfizer’s own records of the clinical trials), and he is working tirelessly on getting the government to reject those shots as not fulfilling their contract with the government for a safe and effective vaccine.  And the Journal is ignoring, and suppressing this information, making you partly responsible for the continuing ignorance of much of the public to the carnage going on all over the world.  This is another area where your crack investigators could make a huge difference by bringing to light the truth of the harm caused by mRNA vaccines.  I would advise you to get in touch with Dr. Mary Talley Bowden in Houston, and get her story.  You might find it enlightening.

The Journal is also not giving nearly enough attention to the huge problem of illegal aliens who are invited into our country by the Biden administration, given thousands of taxpayer dollars for their upkeep, housed in fancy hotels while Americans live on the streets, and are allowed to take over entire apartment complexes with their criminal activities.  The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is literally taking over cities, yet your reporting is sketchy.  And the Haitian “refugees” given legal status are ruining small towns, in truth killing and eating people’s pets, and leaving neighborhoods full of trash.  Citizens are being turned out of their rental homes to accommodate illegals, and the Journal simply believes what the city governments tell them, even when the politicians are benefiting from those illegals.  Never did I think the Wall Street Journal would defer to authority without doing its own investigations.

I had to laugh when two of your columnists, Dan Henninger and Holman Jenkins, in the same issue, pointed out how the “press” has been remiss in its biased reporting on the Democrats, and failed to include the Journal in that group!  These days, you are some of the worst offenders.  Maybe your reporters should get out more, and see what is happening to your own city with all the deterioration brought by all-Democrat rule.

Are you keeping track of what is still happening on the ground in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene?  Did you know that FEMA is spending all its money on illegal alien support, while Americans have literally lost everything in their lives and getting next to no government help?  In fact, people who lost everything are losing their own children to the State because their homes were washed away!  Yet the Journal is silent.

You got the 2024 election wrong, too.  It wasn’t an “economy-is-everything” election, but a Good vs Evil election.  We ordinary folks don’t listen to your Trump-bashing, we hear a man who survived two assassination attempts, and still fights to ensure that the American Dream is kept alive.  We believe that Donald Trump represents US, the American Taxpayers, who struggle every day to make our living and feed our families.  We see President Trump as caring about us, and not the career politicians who have made fortunes off of us, yet still vote for fellow careerists.  And, by the way, we abhor abortion, and we want our politicians to support LIFE, not death.  It’s no coincidence that your “news” writers continually expose their pro-abortion bias.  I do remember your columns advising Republicans to abandon their principles to follow “public opinion” on abortion.

I also notice your “news” writers are going on an anti-Elon Musk crusade too.  I really liked this headline “Musk politics bet scores big as conflicts of interest loom”.  Point out his conflict of interest, but not those of the career politicians get rich off of insider trading in stocks of companies they regulate.  We are looking forward to him and Vivek Ramaswamy taking the machete to federal agencies.  I hate electric cars, but I am proud of Mr. Musk’s achievements in business, and maybe the Journal should be exposing government waste instead of successful business people who made their fortunes honestly.  How about you start a crusade against George Soros, whose money supports corrupt DAs, election interference, and censorship online.  How about you do a thorough investigation of the World Economic Forum, whose crusade for world domination threatens the sovereignty of every nation, instead of glorifying them.   You must be aware of the WEF population efforts, to reduce the total population of the entire world (like John Kerry’s daughter has stated).

Finally, and perhaps the most important of all, I would bring your attention to the past four years and before.  How could you and the rest of the legacy press simply ignore Joe Biden’s rapidly-advancing dementia?  You continued to attribute to him ideas and policies that he was obviously incapable of expressing.  Public appearances showed his slurred speech, wandering aimlessly on camera (remember the G7?), not knowing how to walk offstage at press conferences and other appearances, shuffling gait, and multiple instances of falling up the stairs to Air Force One.  The man has been failing for years and you all brushed it under the rug.  For that matter, America has essentially had no president for much of Biden’s term.  Who has the nuclear codes when the President is non compos mentis?  It’s your main job, and you failed spectacularly.

Thanks for listening to my diatribe, but it would be great if some of my points caused you to take a hard look at your reporting, and get out there in the real world beyond Manhattan.  Bring back the old WSJ, investigating the stories that are important to the whole country, not just the coastal elites.

    1. I just decided that it’s not quite finished, and I need to add one more paragraph. Once I do that, I will reply back and you can reblog. This will be the first time that anyone has republished my work! Thanks! Please be sure to publish anonymously.

    I subscribed to the WSJ for the thoroughness and thoughtfulness and insight of its opinion writers. Though I’ve continued to pay the steep price for a digital-only subscription, it has become far from a daily staple. I pick up the occasional news story or editorial. When I did recently read an article in the print edition, “Biden Approves Ukraines Use of Lon-Range Missiles,” it seemed lacking in context, eg, zero mention of missile systems previously asked for from France and the UK to do the same thing. On the Opinion page of the same issue (11/18/24), the editorial opinion “ATACMS, Putin and Trump” simultaneously justified Biden’s thinking on letting Ukraine use the US long-range missiles and painted Putin’s missile attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as if it was in response to Trump’s recent phone call asking Putin not to escalate. This editorial is borderline jeuvenile. I feel that I can get more level headed news and views from a number of other sources, paid and free, including Locals.com, substacks, paid websites (victorhanson.com, steynonline.com) and unpaid sites like theduran.locals.com. Reading the WSJ anymore continues to leave me with the feeling that I’m not getting the whole story, and what I am getting seems to be more and more obviously slanted toward government neo-con interests in foreign matters and generally supporting the government side in everything. At $47.52 per month for my last billing, I think there’s a lot of reasons to reconsider the value of my digital-only subscription.
