Wall Street Journal (editorial board)
U.S. right
The Wall Street Journal is owned by Dow Jones & Company, a subsidiary of News Corp controlled by the Murdoch family. Its editorial board occupies a firmly conservative position, advocating for free markets, low taxes, and deregulation — a tradition distinct from the paper's more centrist news operation. In the Trump administration's second term, the board has taken a mixed stance: it broadly shares the administration's economic conservatism but has sharply criticized the Trump family's financial dealings and specific policies such as mass deportations and student visa restrictions.
