WSJ and the Malaysian PM: Clearly, no love lost


"Unfortunately The Wall Street Journal's analysis of Bernie's proposals isn't just another routine example of shoddy corporate journalism. It's an example of how the corporate media tries todiscredit and discard anyone who they can't control. And that's not just bad news for our political process. It's also bad news for the Fourth Estate, which really should at least try to be honest in its critique of policy issues." - The Wall Street Journal's Attempt to Take Down Bernie Sanders Backfired, Truthout, 18/9/2-15


Wrong again, WSJ
A good Sunday read for students and practitioners of journalism. Not just because the WSJ, accused of promoting corporate journalism in America, seems of late to be quite infatuated with Malaysia, its Prime Minister and 1MDB but also because journalism as we know it is a dying profession.

Re WSJ, Bernie the US prospective presidential candidate isn't the only one fighting a battlle against the powerful media. Najib Razak faces the same predicament, for different reasons.

The PM's keeping his options open to sue the American media giant while the 1MDB, previously meek in dealing with unfair reporting, has openly slammed the WSJ and challenged it to have some decency and name its sources.
