agree, the wsj investig has always been tops, still lots of great & talented folks there!
but since wall street is now relocated to dc anyway (2 trillion in bailout capitalism!) isn't wp really the new wsj? another sweet jump, marcus!
Leonard can you ask your guest, on Rupert Murdoch's statement that part of the reason for the down fall of news papers is their contempt for the public that read the news, and what does he mean by that statement!
Totally disagree with Wolff on the old WSJ's investigating.
When "The Insider," Jeffrey Wigand, was smeared by John Hanlon/B&W/Chadbourne & Park in a 500-page dossier, WSJ was the ONLY org that examined that report page by page, charge by charge. And exposed it for the fraud it was. Kudos to WSJ, Suein Hwang and Milo Geyelin. Just one of WSJ's many groundbreaking, in-depth investigations.
Wigand has an item on it here:

Now? It's just another USAToday. Big deal, imho.
But Rupert can not beat death.
Do you cover Murdoch's early years. If so how is it different than William Shawcross's Book "Murdoch The Making of a Media Empire"
Or different from the Frontline special hosted by Ken Auletta in the 90s or what anyone else has written about Murdoch?
