What happened to stateoftheu

Wall St Journal is still fire and only major paper bringing in the bacon

As a career financial analyst, the Wall Street Journal is absolute garbage. It's Fox News in paper form. I was working at a major Wall Street bank when News Corp bought the Wall St. Journal. As soon as it was announced, the line of business CEO announced on our firm-wide morning call that the business would no longer cover subscriptions to it and everyone should read The Financial Times and Barron's.

If you want financial news, you read the aforementioned two and The Economist. If you want unbiased news about the United States, you read something published outside the United States.
