I’ve read the recent posts criticizing the WSJ as shifting left. The reality is that the WSJ is reporting on the increasing authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. True conservatism requires reporting on the news and actions of government and other entities regardless of whether they are on the right or left. Calling a spade a spade is critical to a democracy.
I don’t understand why a journalist must tell us a topic is “super interesting.”
There was a discussion about how long it take the government to get back to full force. With 2.3 million employees excluding the military and post office employees I don’t think 4000 job losses is a big deal. That is less than 2/10 of 1% of the total. I don’t believe that Walmart which has 2.1 million employees, services would suffer if they lost 4000 people. You should put things in a better perspective.
This used to be such a wonderful podcast. It used to be neutral and just reported the news and that was wonderful because the vast majority of our sources are now captured by left or right… Unfortunately, this podcast is now clearly left of center in outlook and reporting.
I just want a short news headline that’s in the center. This is not it. Not just occasional left of center this podcast is left
