I don't think anyone can accuse the WSJ of "liberal bias."
What??????
EVERYONE knows the WSJ is a Liberal rag. Hell, they're nothing but a bunch of business-hating, Left-wing Commies. You can tell that by WHO reads it!!!!!!

It's not the first time that kind of thing has happened - and BOTH sides have done it (even Lincoln did it to prevent the Democrats from having a quorum to vote).

Wisconsin legislators aren't the first to walk out, leave town - CNN

NBC and WSJ to be exact.

And they have no link to anything showing the details of the poll for us to see if it was conducted properly. It says to wait until after 6:30 PM even though it was posted yesterday and there's still no link?

The NYT and CBS polls were skewed to favour Democrats and union members....so I dismiss that poll completely.

Actually, a non-partisan study group concluded that the WSJ was quite liberal in it's news side and leaned conservative in it's opinion side.

You can be as closed minded as you wish to be in America, but that doesn't mean that a non-partisan study found that WSJ was liberal on their news side and right-leaning on their opinion side.

Please don't allow any facts to disturb your pre-conceived ideas.

Media Bias Is Real, Finds UCLA Political Scientist / UCLA Newsroom

While the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal is conservative, the newspaper's news pages are liberal, even more liberal than The New York Times.

So who were these "non-partisan study group"?

Care to provide a link to that conclusion?
