The Wall Street Journal (editorial board)
U.S. right (traditionally conservative, free-market)
The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp, a global media company controlled by the Murdoch family. Its editorial board holds a strongly conservative, free-market orientation, long advocating for tax cuts, deregulation, and open trade. During Trump's second term the board has been outspokenly critical of his tariff policies and of the Trump family's cryptocurrency and financial dealings, while remaining broadly aligned with traditional Republican economic priorities.
