...Would the acquisition spell the end of The Journal as we know it? We find much of this hype is ill-reasoned. Murdoch is at heart a businessman and as The Journal’s owner, he will be primarily interested in its success.

...must say at the outset that I am loath to pen my name to yet another piece on the man. Critics understand that our judgments often take on lives of their own—write too much about somebody, and you risk spurring a dozen contrarians to their defense. Or one might draw attention to bad ideas. But I make an exception in the case of Cornel West, where I feel the truth cannot be repeated often enough. Cornel West raps like a 12-year old girl...
