Talk:The Wall Street Journal
From Academic Kids
That period
Could we please drop the reference to the full stop following the newspaper's name on the nameplate? (It appears on the masthead as well, but I don't think that's what was meant.) I suppose there is a less important fact about the newspaper, but I can't imagine what it could be. (The fact that the New England edition is printed in Chicopee MA, perhaps?) Cubdriver
Hitchens
Christopher Hitchens is a 'more liberal' writer? More liberal that who? Ayn Rand and P. J. O'Rourke perhaps - but only just.
He's a self-diagnosed neo-con (see The Atlantic online archive) who regularly does battle with his former 'fellow travellers' of the UK left.
What are these two paragraphs apropos? Cubdriver
Militant?
As the French newspaper is currently being characterized as "militant" in its article I would like to know whether the Wall Street Journal's article on February 6, 2003, insulting French President Jaques Chirac as a "balding Joan of Arc in drag": "The Rat that Roared" Christopher Hitchens (http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=6005) would qualify this newspaper as "militant" as well? Just a rhetorical question... Get-back-world-respect 15:12, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Why don't you address the problems in that article rather than trying to "balance" out other articles to compensate? -Joseph (Talk) 04:04, 2004 Oct 18 (UTC)
Hitchens's piece would have been an op-ed, not reporting--if it exists at all. The link leads to a blank page at another site, nothing to do with WSJ.. -- Cubdriver
