Who and what is Wall Street Journal, and what kind of journalism ethic are they adhering to?
Sorry to say, many world leaders, corporate figures, conglomerates and even governments have come under WSJ bad journalism. To them, selling lies and slanders bring more revenue and popularity than what truth can.
Malaysians are pathetic...easily-led!
Here are some of WSJ big lies about individuals, organisations, government; and even about our mother nature!
The Wall Street Journal Parade of Climate Lies
That Rupert Murdoch governs over a criminal media empire has been made clear enough in the UK courts in recent years. That the Wall Street Journal op-ed pages, the latest victim of Murdoch's lawless greed, are little more than naked propaganda is perhaps less appreciated. The Journal runs one absurd op-ed after another purporting to unmask climate change science, but only succeeds in unmasking the crudeness and ignorance of Murdoch's henchmen. Yesterday's (September 5) op-ed by Matt Ridley is a case in point.
Lost History: Wall Street Journal's Big Lies!
Media critic Edward S. Herman calls The Wall Street Journal's inconsistent moral standards "ultra-relativism," a hypocritical readiness to condemn a bad act when committed by an "enemy" but to defend or deny a comparable act when done by a "friend." For the record, of course, the Journal's editor Robert L. Bartley insists that he practices moral consistency. He declares bluntly that "some things are right and others wrong." But in reality, Bartley's insistence on his consistency is just one more Journal lie.
WSJ Lies About DOJ Efforts To Check Blatant Voter Suppression
The Wall Street Journal editorial board falsely claimed that the Department of Justice is relying on outdated civil rights law in its current lawsuits against the voter suppression of Texas and North Carolina.
Wall Street Journal Published Blatant Lies About The Gold Market
As a perfect example of this, the Wall Street Journal published an article yesterday titled, "Gold Fades From Investment Picture."
Wall Street Journal lies; attacks teachers and workers
Ever since its purchase by a right-wing mega-millionaire with a history of being challenged by basic journalistic ethics, the Wall Street Journal has sometimes refused to let facts interfere with an editorial policy strongly tilted against the working class, the backbone of America, and it has done so again. This time, school teachers and other public employees in Texas are in the crosshairs of a WSJ editorial that ran over the weekend, deliberately lying to the public about a bill that would end for most public employees in Texas the long-time practice of having their union or professional association dues automatically deducted from their paychecks.
WSJ lies when it says what happened in Baltimore is about the failure of liberal government
The Wall Street Journal has devoted a lot of column inches lately to advocating the truly odious idea that liberal/progressive government programs, and not racism, are to blame for what happened in Baltimore. The Journal fronted this non-reality based opinion in an editorial a few days back, and now it is publishing an article by regular columnist, former Bush II speechwriter, William McGurn, that says the same thing.
Rare View: WSJ lies... that Israel spied on US nuclear talk with Iran.
House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday he was 'shocked' and 'baffled' by a Wall Street Journal report published Tuesday morning that claimed Israel had spied on US nuclear talk with Iran.
Wall Street Journal lies about Uygurs
Base what you say on fact. This is the principle The Wall Street Journal should have followed in its editorial "China's Desperate 'Terrorists'" on Monday. However, instead of condemning the deadly act of terror at Tian'anmen on Oct 28, it somehow accused the Chinese government of human right abuses, which it says have created a cycle of violence.
There are more. Over the years, WSJ spreads more lies than truth.
However, since this is the first time that Malaysia comes under its attack, most of us believe it. Poor you people, easily-led! I think most Malaysians, especially the Malays, trust WSJ more than Israel!
Now you understand why I don't believe in what they reported about PM Najib. No tangible evidence thus far. If you still wanna believe them, go ahead! I am open to criticism too, unlike some of you readers who penned sarcasm and profanity on my postings because you think you are among WSJ believers!
No wonder more and more foreigners are taking away what used to belong to you... bit by bit. Don't you realise that?

EVERYONE expects the media to get the facts right, and many feel international media would go the extra mile to doubly ensure the accuracy of their reports. But The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has proven itself to be a bit lacking in fact checking many a time — and has had to retract stories too many times in recent years, as can be seen in the graphic below.
(Watch it on YouTube)
Believe it or not, the Wall Street Journal provides another example of an inaccurate circular graph. This time the error so closely parallels an example from Darrell Huff’s classic How to Lie with Statistics that I find myself wondering—intentional deception or innocent blunder?
The WSJ recently published an article that called blogs parasitic trash: But actions speak louder than words. That same WSJ reported on an unconfirmed TechCrunch rumor about the YouTube acquisition by Google.
While editorials are entitled to an opinion, in this case an opinion has been mixed with unsubstantiated rumor and a lack of fact checking. I wish I could say it doesn’t meet the standard of the WSJ, but it isn’t the first time the opinion page has played fast and loose with facts to make a splash. In just the latest example, my letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal yesterday in response to their editorial was titled to suggest I was debating the success or failure of the government funding of Range, when in fact I was trying to challenge the accuracy of the WSJ reporting and the less than ethical, in my view, tactics they use.
