Customer Reviews of Wall Street Journal

Best Newspaper in the US
Every newspaper has a political orientation of some sort, and the WSJ is no exception; what differentiates the WSJ from every other mahjor newspaper in America is that it has a wall between News and Editorial sections. There's probably no other paper in the world whose news reporting is as free of politics, and that's part of what makes it such a great source of unbiased news and information.

The Op-Ed pages are also a treasure, particularly if you do subscribe to the Journal's libertarian-Republican point of view. And even if you don't it's always worth learning what the other side says. Leftists are well represented in the person of Al Hunt, whose weekly commentary keeps the reader abreast of what's current in Democratic circles. Writers from all sides are regularly represented in guest columns, too; last week's paper had an essay by Lech Walesa on the role Ronald Reagan played in supporting Solidarity and the Pope in the early days of their struggle againt the Polish government.

I've begun almost every weekday of the past twenty years with a cup of coffee and my copy of the WSJ. I can't imagine changing.

America's newspaper
The United States has three national newspapers, of which USA Today is tripe, the New York Times is overweight, and the Wall Street Journal is the gold standard (small joke there :). I have read it almost every day for 30 years, for its news and opinion as well as to keep track of my money. Indeed, as the Journal and I get older, I find myself less interested in business news than in the rest of the paper. The most recent addition is the Personal Journal section that appears on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and the Weekend Journal that bulks up the Friday paper. The last, I understand, will eventually grow into a Saturday edition of the WSJ. It's full of good stuff about travel, wine, books, theater, and (of much less interest to me) religion. The editorial page is famously conservative, but that's nicely balanced by the news pages, which are generally moderate and sometimes (in the case of the Washington opinion columns) liberal. Even the op-ed page carries a column by Albert Hunt, who is as comically leftish as the editorials are sometimes comically rightish. Altogether, this is the newspaper for the intelligent American, wherever he or she may live, and whatever his or her politics. -- Dan Ford

Newspaper is great, Synpase Services is not!
I found that the newspaper was exactly what my previous revieweres had described, a journal of world events which have a potential impact on the Wall Street stocks, bonds and funds. Don't expect a complete news coverage but coverage of events relevant to the business world. All in all I am very happy with the quality of reporting.

What I am not happy with is the service provided by Synapse Services. Their local contractor in the South Bay Area, California did not deliver the journal on July 2nd and July 6th, 2004. When I called to ask about this, Synpase was not able to provide me with any useful information, and was not able to tell me if the newspaper was not delivered or was stolen instead. They did not make any effort to get to the bottom of the issue but instead advised me to wait for another day to see if service resumes.
