Despite their professed editorial line, in practice they're much more conservative than libertarian. For example, they are strong supporters of the War on Terror, both in terms of an interventionist foreign policy and ramping up domestic security measures. They also lean towards some support for Christian and social conservatism, though that part is weaker. On politics, they are pretty openly partisan in a pro-GOP direction. Take a look at the recent headlines of their Political Diary, for example: http://online.wsj.com/public/page/political-diary.html More problematically from my perspective, their opinion pages are notoriously loose with facts. It's one thing to argue a position, and another to just produce propaganda. For example, here is an exceedingly unsatisfactory treatment of what the Bible says about capitalism and prosperity (an interesting and somewhat complex issue, because the Bible has many things to say about it, which this piece ignores): http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297020380650457717... |
