It's not as if the Bancrofts were lefties; the editorial page was always full of memes like "lucky duckies." But it was true that the straight news was much straighter ante Murdoch. Sic Po'o media critic Jack Shafer:
Few made as much anti-Rupert noise as I did. But last fall, I amended those thoughts in a piece about the future of the Murdoch media empire when the Good Lord finally musters the courage to gather him in. As I wrote, Murdoch had retooled the Journal into a more general interest publication during his nine years of ownership. But he had not, as I had forcefully predicted, sullied the paper—as he has almost every journalistic property he has ever purchased. The Journal has increased circulation, expanded its scope and has recently broken big stories on Theranos, Bridgegate, Medicare fraud, cyber-privacy and the Malaysia scandal.
Alas, my reconsideration may have premature, based on the reporting of the Financial Times’ Matthew Garrahan, Politico’s Joe Pompeo and other recent media rumblings. Circumstantial evidence is collecting like soap scum in a bathtub that Murdoch may be working behind the scenes at the Journal and elsewhere to insinuate himself with Donald Trump, depriving his readers of the aggressive coverage they deserve.
The result, some reporters say, has been a decline in morale that has been exacerbated by the just-announced departure of deputy editor-in-chief Rebecca Blumenstein for The New York Times.
While you're at it, ask just how it is that Wingnut Welfare legacy Hire Jonah Goldberg (the laziest man in publishing today) became Morning Edition's go-to expert commentator on all things political?
I had to listen to him being interviewed by Inskeep this morning about the 9th Circuit's opinion. It was… Unpleasant.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! The writers are in revolt. Sorry Murdoch, your pitiful fish wrap sucks and even the people who write for it know it
I wonder if the Bancroft family even cares what's become of it?

Woah… The New York Times!

Buncha uppity writers. Where do they get the nerve?
Do you hear this, Nitskeep?
Are you communicating your feelings to him?
We can help with that.
I wrote to the NPR Ombudsperson about it, for all the good that will do. I'm happy for any help you're willing to give.

Perhaps Tucker Carlson was double-booked.
Don't give them any ideas.
As long as it doesn't require listening to Morning Edition.

I expect that Eleven Jinping could run rhetorical circles around most people, nevermind Dufus.

That will be difficult to unsee.
Employees of a News Corp. property are just now learning they are working for an organ of the Republican Party.

They call themselves journalists?
They assumed it would be "objective". How could bipartisanship/civility possibly betray democratic ideals?
Ask Cokie.
Who?
