All That High-Minded . . .


. . . self-congratulations we heard from the Bancroft family the last couple of weeks about protecting the integrity of the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones from the likes of Rupert Murdoch means nothing. Apparently they, like everyone else these days, have their price. Murdoch very well might have met it. Look, the editorial pages have been an atrocity for years, but the news section? Business in America would be a great deal less healthy were it not for the vibrant, ethical and sharp coverage of the news section. First Reuters and now this? Grim, people, very grim.

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. This principle is, contempt prior to examination."
