Wall Street Journal

I agree, the best paper in the USA.

As far as info on the stock market and the business world goes, the wall street is one of the best, if not the best papers around. Alas, the editorials and current news sections are mediocre at best, and can't compete wth the likes of a Boston Globe Or New York times. Great business coverage, though.

My lifeblood. The Editorial Page keeps me on the right track. I love the Personal Journal, especially on Fridays. There is much more to this paper than reading about business and analyzing stock quotes (ZZZ...). This publication is a must-read every day.

Five stars for their financial reporting, and one star for everything else. Their editorials are among the most right-wing in America, somewhere between Falwell and Goering. Don't waste your time.

The best paper in the country. Fair and accurate reporting. The Wall Street Journal is must reading for people who think for themselves. The columnist are second to none.

It's clear that people who rip this paper don't read it. There's a lot more than business news, and there is better coverage of major issues here than anywhere else. It has the best stable of columnists anywhere and its Weekend Journal on Friday's is the best section in any paper in the country. Daniel Henninger also runs the most influential editorial page in the country.

Very good on business news, but lame on everything else. At least it's a step up from most conservative rags in that it's professionally edited and written and has a good staff, but it's handicapped by its rather suspect editorial policy as rah-rah cheerleader for the greedheads and pirates who are really running this country.

One of the few conservative newspapers in a media seemingly dominated by bleeding-heart liberals. Always delivers accurate and expertly-written articles, mainly on financial matters, but also world news.

Never saw a Republican they didn't like.

More to life than just stock prices, WSJ--the upcoming war with Iraq and almost certain terrorism fallout will teach us all that. FAST.

Great Paper.

WSJ is the gold standard by which all others are measured with excellent reporting and commentary. The most influential daily in the free world is simply splendid and all others are fish wrap.

Way too conservative, but at least it doesn't just make stuuf up.

This is a really great newspaper. It is a beacon of conservative values in a world of liberal media. And it is covers the business like no other.

Conservative island in a sea of liberalism...

This numbers-paper gets a 1-star rating for the simple fact that it focuses on business and the nature of a free enterprise system. The purpose of the paper is to inform and educate (read: indoctrinate) people about how the capitalist system works and to focus upon various points of interest across the business spectrum: stocks, bonds, money-market accounts, CDs, dotcom technologies, the latest news stories in government relating to Congressional budget matters, biographies of people (present and past) who have impacted the American free enterprise system or who have revolutionized it in some form or another. I don't read it on a regular basis, but when I do, it's to follow how Congress is solving such pertinent issues such as the patients' bill of rights (which I am for) and how the HMOs are lobbying Capitol Hill and buttonholing various lawmakers (usually Re-smug-licans) to stop passage of this legislation or to water it down somehow so that the bill won't have any "teeth." But for t... Read more

The Wall Street Journel shouldn't even be up here, because newspapers are supposed to be about more then one subject, and all this paper his in it are numbers. All you see are numbers spread across these pages. It's the newspaper for the rich crowd, because they own their damn stock, and the money to pay for a copy.

A wealth of information. In the lead, but a few others (esp. international) are catching up. .....

The best paper to get political and business news in the country. It gives you details that papers like USA Today never give you

All US newspapers are a joke. During a strike the reporters would keep asking the same question to several people until they got the answer they wanted. This was the one printed. Any extra comments were left out. When I contacted the paper 3 times I just got the run around. A Chinese neighbor who was very proud to be in the US opened my eyes to the fact that every Country in the World prints & reports the news in a way that makes them sound right. Hey,Sounds almost Communist.

The most comprehensive financial newspaper that covers the issues important to both individual and institutional investors. The features are both informative and provocative. This newspaper has definitely helped me make money both personally and professionally.

Excellent coverage of business and world events. It is the only newspaper I read on a regular basis.

For business news, it is the best.

The only newspaper you need to understanding what's going on in the world. It is without par in covering financial news and has the best editorial page in the business.

Obviously the best source for daily news on business and finance. My one deep, philosophical question is: how exactly do they do those head-shot drawings of people? Is there actually an artist who does that or is is just computer-generated from a real picture?

An interesting and well written paper. Unfortunately, who has the chance to read it every day?

While I trust and respect the reporting of this newspaper, it has never really grabbed me. For example, I would never pay my own money for a subscription to this paper.
