Trash or Slash at Wall StreetJournal
June 21, 2007
That&;s the dilemma that Wall Street Journal workers face, claims a New York Times story. Rupert Murdoch would &;dumb down&; the paper and the rest of Dow Jones; a possible GE/CNBC buyer would &;consolidate&; (slash) jobs.
Either way, it&;s ironic how little editors are aligned with the capitalist values of their media outlets. Drudge is highlighting an MSNBC story about how journalists political donations skew 9-1 Democratic. My favorite quote:
A junior editor at Dow Jones Newswires (!) gave $1,036 to the liberal group MoveOn.org and keeps a blog listing &;people I don&;t like,&; starting with George Bush, Pat Robertson, the Christian Coalition, the NRA and corporate America (&;these are the people who are really in charge&;).
That Dow Jones editor has a Constitutional right to contribute to (and publish about) anyone they want. But I would ask him two questions: Dude, where do you work? And what do you do every day&;talk about &;corporate America&;!
