Wall Street Journal Defends Printing Trump’s Election ‘Fraud Letter’ Even if ‘His Claims Are Bananas’
Wall Street Journal ran a Letter to the Editor written by Donald Trump, in which the ex-president reiterated the lies and conspiracy theories he keeps telling about the 2020 election via a series of rambling bullet points as incoherent as they were baseless.WSJ (whose parent company, it should be noted, is Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, which also owns Fox News) received a lot of criticism for publishing that without comment. So on Thursday the editorial board defended the decision, with a fair amount of smugness, though they also acknowledged the falsehoods.
