Defending Trump’s Letter to the Editor

"SNIP.......

The Wall Street Journal defends running a letter to the editor from Donald Trump arguing that the 2020 election in Pennsylvania was stolen:

“We trust our readers to make up their own minds about his statement. And we think it’s news when an ex-President who may run in 2024 wrote what he did, even if (or perhaps especially if) his claims are bananas.”

.....SNIP"

1. Like Facebook

WSJ does not feel any responsibility to publish facts. Outright lies are not newsworthy.

[gratuitous]

3. "We trust our readers to make up their own minds"

Then why is the Journal in business if it doesn't care about facts or reality? "All the News That Fits, We Print" was a satirical slogan, you know.

7. Do they publish fabrications of stock prices?

And then trust their readers to make up their own minds if the stock prices are true or not?

Sheesh.

4. Wall Street Urinal

Fixed it for you.

5. This is a slap in the face to good journalists everywhere

The Wall Street Journal just dumped themselves into the same class as Facebook.

6. they kicked him off social media but he still gets his message out like this.

8. Why would anyone think that a big lie that is 11 months old news?

Fu*k you, WSJ. We don't buy your BS excuse. Or your stupid rag.

Anyone who gets it should cancel their subscription.

9. That's a cop-out from the WSJ

Everyone knows what Trump's perspective is; bananas is being generous. This is simply a marketing decision because too many press outlets miss the daily chaos with increased eyeballs, click-bait and revenue.

Trump should be shunned like the plague he is.

There is no defense.
