WSJ Coverage

I just have to say that the WSJ coverage of the Société Générale story is possibly the worst I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if it is because of Rupert Murdoch. Unfortunately, I do not get a chance to read the paper daily. I don’t know if it is a problem that is endemic or systemic. I only grabbed the paper at the hotel so I could read the arts column by Terry Teachout.

The column, entitled “French Bank Hit by Rogue Trader”, was highly repetitive. It seems like they only had 5 pieces of fact and about 20 inches of column space. It was so repetitive, they used the same sentence twice – “His expertise was trading baskets of stocks such as the Euro Stoxx 50.”

Anyways, I’m hoping it is just an anomaly, and that the WSJ will continue to be fun to read.
