What do you make of the derangement of the WSJ editors vs. its reporting? It’s like they don’t read their own paper.

No, not at all. They have a fine understanding of both the need for accurate information and the need for propaganda, and the discipline to do both at once. It’s admirable, in its way.

Sometimes I wonder who reads all that great journalism in the WSJ. I doubt too many corporate titans do - it’s too long and too serious. They might read the “A-hed” stories (so called because there’s a three-sided rule around the headline that looks kind of like an A less the crossbar), which are usually funny - but the “leaders” on either side of A1 is way above your average FX trader’s reading level.
