NY Times profiles the two-year anniversary of News Corp. buying The Wall Street Journal
December 13, 2007 was the day when News Corporation, led by the lifelong conservative Rupert Murdoch and also owner of the unfair and imbalanced Fox News Channel, bought The Wall Street Journal. David Carr's December 14 "Media Equation" column explores Murdoch's wish to play politics with his stake in WSJ. Former WSJ writer Glenn R. Simpson comments: "Murdoch didn’t ruin The Wall Street Journal; he just rendered it into a much more ordinary paper." This article also exposes a lot of right-wing, pro-business spin on the WSJ's news pages, if you thought their opinion pages were polluted enough.

1. Too bad.
I'm glad there's newspapers like the NY Times that haven't so far been turned into Murdoch & Moonie fish wrapper.
