Ironically, WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who invested $100 million in Theranos. According to the famous book, Bad Blood, Elizabeth Holmes tried to get Murdoch to kill the story but he refused.

Ironic indeed. Surprisingly ethical behavior from Murdoch - I wouldn't have expected such a person to take that kind of a hit on his $100 million investment.
He paid 50X that for the WSJ in 2007.
