I cancelled the hard copy, now subscribing only to digital.
But it is a daily struggle not to pull the plug. With this latest stunt of restricting comments from people who are not buying into their anti-Trumper agenda, I probably don't want to pay them for it too long.
These MSM outlets spend too much time regurgitating the collectivist line and overanalyzing what "might" happen.
I quit even watching FOX news since they changed and decided to give equal time to the left and put on high-heeled vapid bimbos to deliver the "news".
For example, who really cares whats in the Muiller report anyway. What we need to know is whether Trump is impeached, since that was the reason fro the investigation. Otherwise, the contents of the report is meaningless.
I have a lot more time to do what I really want to do, without having to waste time on this trivia.
Cancel the subscription. It will save you money that you can spend on something that brings you happiness.
The reason I still subscribe to the WSJ is to have access to daily events as they occur. True, there are other sources but I have been a subscribes for umpteen years and sometimes there are pieces there worth reading.
Since they introduced this instrument to "elevate" the level of discussion, some articles are blocked to comments. But hack pieces against Trump are not. You should have seen the comments of readers today on that. People are not stupid even if the WSJ, like other MSM outlets think they are. The Journal will lose another contingent of subscribers due to this partisan move. Now, on top of the comments section, the writer posts a sentence (probably this is what the editors consider "elevated". The sentence or question is loaded, like today when the writer of Netanyahu's victory posted this: "Do you think Netanyahu will be able to carry on his right wing policies in view of his conviction for bribery?" So there you have it. The non-aligned, neutral WSJ.
Regarding FOX, I stopped watching it as well, after they removed O'Reilly.

Just checked. Still no dissenter comments on that article.
Just went to the link, and added the first comment.
There is an option to ALSO Post the comment on GAB, which will link to the article, killing 2 birds at once.
I find this powerful, and UNLIKE my deleted DISQUS account, something I don't fear using!
The reason is obvious: readers are quite blunt about facts which may not be what the journal wants to see.
This censoring of comments came about after blistering fights between trolls and sane people, sometimes boiling over to include downright threats. First the Journal introduced the option to block commenters you did not want to read. When this did not bring the results, they clamped down on the option of commenting, by pulling it.
I received some crap stating:
"In our efforts to provide a space for a civil and respectful conversation, we limit the number of articles to match our moderation capabilities. We seek to offer conversations on a variety of topics that reflect the breadth of The Wall Street Journal’s coverage.
We are privileged to be a part of your daily routine, and will continue to bring you the news, views, resources, and service that you count on to stay ahead. Your business is appreciated. If you have any additional questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact us."
"Civil and respectful" when the WSJ is maligning the president day in and day out, just to name one example.
That's why I am certain it'll be followed by defections.
The Virtue of Selfishness “Man’s Rights” - Ayn Rand
A topic, by a group, not open to any exchange of ideas?
Then Rupert Murdoch bought it. Now it's a waste of paper.
It is only a matter of time .
Many subscribers cancelled.
It is no fun to read the likes of Rebecca Ballhaus et al, regularly concocting hit pieces on the president.
I read on Bretibart yesterday that the NYT posted: the Israeli elections were a "setback" for Netanyahu b/c it was too close to call and the NYT predicted he'll lose (sounds familiar?).
At any rate, today one of the commenters wrote:
"i wouldn't disgrace my ass by wiping it with the ny times."...😁
