re: #37 Targetpractice
I stopped paying attention to the WSJ back when it became Rupert Murdoch’s newest propaganda mill. Soviet-era Pravda had more truth in its pages than the WSJ’s editorials do today.
That’s because Rupert Murdoch agrees with Marx on how a capitalist economic system works. They agree that capitalists will pursue profits and power even if such a pursuit is dangerous to society. The only difference is that Marx thought this was a bad thing and Murdoch thinks this is a good thing.
So it’s not surprising that Murdoch’s media would bear a close resemblance to its now vanished Soviet counterparts.
