Paywalled and very click-baity title. Is this a serious newspaper?

This is the opinion section, which is what went down the tubes post Murdoch acq. The actual business/finance sections are still good.

WSJ ceased to be a serious newspaper when Murdoch bought it. But of course, almost half of the country voted for 2020 Trump, so almost half of HN probably likes him even today. So you will see this and more like this being upvoted.

WSJ's opinion pieces are horseshit but their reporting is still top-class. To be fair, most opinions are horseshit to people who dont enjoy that flavor of horseshit.

I agree that WSJ is a great newspaper / publication for those of us who consume business / market news on a regular basis.

I never even click on the WSJ opinion section.

It should be noted that WSJ has always held to the fact that there is no substantiated evidence of voter fraud throughout the articles written around the election. Again, not speaking to the opinion section (bc I've never read it).
