'WSJ' Loads Up on Opinion, Some of It Liberal
Stealth attack! While we've been on high alert for changes to The Wall Street Journal's Marketplace section, Rupert Murdoch has gone and revamped section A yet again, adding a third daily page of opinion content and a pair of familiar columnists. No wonder he's been coming in on Sundays.
Gordon Crovitz, the former Journal publisher who stepped down in December, is one of the new additions. His column, "Information Age," about the impact of digital technology on business, will appear on Mondays.
The other hire is Thomas Frank, the liberal writer best known for his book What's the Matter with Kansas?. "The Journal has often had a liberal column in hte past, and Mr. Frank can help our readers understand what's on the mind of the American left as it bids to regain control of the federal government," reads the paper's introductory note. Frank's first column addresses the assumption by many commentators that his book was the inspiration for Barack Obama's remarks about "bitter" small-town voters.
