    I remember reading somewhere that the Wall Street Journal's readership was more ideological diverse than the Times (lots of hedge fund Democrats). Despite that, Times tries for balanced op-ed page while WSJ is 96% wing nut editorial and op-ed.https://twitter.com/karpmj/status/1361334966341275651 …

    This has already happened: according to surveys, over 90% of readers who rely on the New York Times are Democrats. The 19th century partisan press is back — only liberalism’s nakedly ideological need to claim the high ground of “objectivity” prevents everyone from accepting this pic.twitter.com/373X6jxccR

        That's because the WSJ knows that people READ it for its straight news, rather than the OpEds. Note where their paywall fell online

        My wife canceled her NYT sub bc of their shitty op Ed page. She replaced it with a WSJ sub bc she wants better finance news, even as she hates their op Ed page even more.

        Times always manages to find work for WSJ superstars.

        One thing to consider is that few people would be republicans today if they read or watched accurate news. Republicans are Fox or OAN viewers almost by definition.

        Agree: We're in a situation where one side rejects science, including biology and climate (physics), prefering to find reality in racial identity and a primitive brutal religion they have warped to their own ends.

        Also worth noting that while it is national in influence, the NYT's reader base is still...New York City. (Admittedly the WSJ's also, but the, well, Wall Street portion of it).
