Your mistake is to consider the WSJ 'middle of the road'. It is not. The editorial board attempts to persuade that it is independent of the news gathering front page crew. It is not. If you wish to look up the editorials from the period after the 2020 election, through to the inauguration of Biden, you will see what I am talking about.
I agree. Its now an anti Trump rag for arrogant elites who are shocked at such an uncouth man being POTUS. Never mind what they did not say about brain dead biden
Nothing new under the sun. The Leftists have been manipulating words for a long time.
"Orwell's novel "1984" further explores the power of language to affect thought. He introduced the concept of Newspeak, a language designed to limit the range of thought by eliminating words that could express unorthodox ideas. This concept highlights the idea that controlling language can control thought, as the ability to express certain ideas is restricted.
The term "doublespeak" has also been associated with Orwell's work, referring to language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. This concept is closely related to Orwell's critique of political language, which often serves to distort and obscure reality."
Exactly. You are completely on point. If we go in, we need to decide that winning is the goal. No more playing nice for brownie points. War is bad and tough and dangerous. Half-measures avail us nothing. (To quote Bill).
Trump is far more adept at running the country than his pathetic detractors, whether they're at the WSJ or elsewhere. He knows that a settled war is better than a fighting war. He seeks that end by giving the Iranian government options NOW, but holding out the possibility of serious consequences to Iran if they do not settle now. This is smart negotiating. I've long favored keeping the USA out of the Iran war, but approve of taking the leash off Israel to bomb the mullahs govt back into the stone ages from whence their cave man ways were born. For 46 years they have tormented Iran, a formerly solid, advanced culture loyal to the West. They need to go, and now is the time. I do not want to see the USA actively in the war, but I'll settle for some of our bombers laying waste to every nuclear site in Iran. There is a debt to be paid by the mullahs, and the debt is due to be resolved NOW. Bombs away. Bring back the Shah's son, Reza Pahlavi.
Good post and so true. WSJ is a rag for the shocked elites who were tangled up with Biden. Now that he's gone they are adrift in elite land unable to adjust to a new day and world where the damage starts to get fixed. Wait till things get western when the deep cuts have to be made when the SHTF fiscally.
Thank you for this. I wish more people would become aware that humans are generally highly susceptible to war propaganda and we are being inundated with it now — from all sides. It does not help that our own government has proved itself to be inept and deceitful in prosecuting past “conflicts” and, of course, the old media cannot be counted upon to accurately report meaningful facts.
I'm glad you're calling out the WSJ for their hyperbolic and inflammatory headlines. Please keep it up. It's a shame to see what's become of a once leading paper.

I find it disappointing that nobody, nobody at all, raises the notion that perhaps Congress should declare war on a country before the USAF begins bombing it.
Headline: GOP Senator Deletes Posts About Minnesota Shootings After Uproar
It's basically about Mike Lee deleting his post about his "nightmare on Waltz street" in response to the murder of the Minn. representative and her husband.
The author included a quote from Chuck Schumer: “reckless rhetoric coming from some of the most powerful forces in the country.”
The author, Jasmine Lee, neglected to mention that Chuckie is an instigator himself, threatening Gorsuch and Kavanaugh...and soon after, someone went after Kavanaugh. I emailed her, but haven't gotten a response. She totally ignored, and evidently never wrote about, all the inflammatory language coming from the left. No Nazi, Mussolini, dictator examples ...
Every day, there's at least one other example of bias at the paper.
Hi there. Just to be clear, this short post did not attempt to serve as a research paper by documenting every factual statement. I assumed that educated readers either are familiar with or can research matters of public record. But, to give you a little boost in that direction, you may want to take a look at https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/08/donald-trump-iran-assassination-plot-00188498.

Sorry, but not a mistake. That is why I added [sic] after middle-of-the-road. But thanks for your thoughts, with which I agree.

Multiple classmates and Army buddies (my political
consultants) have noted: "the WSJ is moving Left; I'm thinking of canceling my subscription."
A lot of us already have.

Clinton perfected it. - "How Bill Clinton created post-truth America. His lies bred a lasting political cynicism". https://unherd.com/2023/01/how-bill-clinton-created-post-truth-america/?us

Classmate said he cancelled his WSJ subscription because they hired a Leftist Brit as chief editor to. control their message.

Among a recent example of bias at what once was the esteemed WSJ, to which I've subscribed for roughly 40 years:

Where is the evidence that “Iran tried to
a$$a$$inate President Trump?”
